Leucoagaricus erythrophaeus
Leucoagaricus erythrophaeus is a species of agaric fungus. Described as new to science in 2010, it is found in California, where it grows in mixed forest. The specific epithet erythrophaeus originates from the Greek words ερυ𝛉ρος ("red" or "bloody") and ϕαιος ("dark"), and refers to the mushroom's characteristic bruising reaction. The species was formerly known under the misapplied name Lepiota roseifolia.[1]
