Mønjevokssopp

Mønjevokssopp, Hygrocybe coccinea, sometimes called the scarlet hood, scarlet waxcap or righteous red waxy cap, is a colourful member of the mushroom genus Hygrocybe. One of the smaller species (cap 2-6 cm) of red waxcap fungi, and a fairly frequent find on cropped grassland. This waxy cap that can be recognized by its scarlet colors, convex cap, broadly attached gills, and the fact that stem does not usually split and become finely "stringy." It is very similar to Hygrocybe punicea, but that species is slightly larger, and features narrowly attached, "notched" gills, along with a stem that becomes stringy.
