Barnet, London, UK, September 2018Saffrondrop bonnet (Mycena crocata)These gorgeous little bonnets are named for the red latex they exude from the stem, cap, and gills when damaged. The liquid stains the flesh of the mushroom (as well as your fingers!), so they vary in cap colouring from greyish brown to deep reddish orange, but I think those red stems will always stand out. -- source link
