A small to medium-sized reddish waxcap with a dry and finely squamulose cap and broadly adnate gills. There is often a narrow yellow margin to the cap. Found in grasslands, fixed dunes, open coniferous plantations and heaths. The toadstool is common and widespread in the UK and is our commonest waxcap on acid soils. The small scarlet waxcaps have been much confused in the past and older records should be treated with caution.
