Leucocoprinus flammeotinctus, commonly known as the flaming parasol, is a species of mushroom in the genus Leucocoprinus. It is found in North America.
Leucocoprinus flammeotinctus was first described as Lepiota flammeotincta by Kauffman in 1925. However, in 2023, Redhead transferred it to the genus Leucocoprinus.
The cap of Leucocoprinus flammeotinctus is 1.5âÂÂ7.5 centimeters in diameter, fibrillose, and has a dark-colored disc in the middle. The stipe is about 4âÂÂ9 centimeters long and has a thin ring. The gills are white. The entire mushroom, except the gills, stains blood red when bruised, before turning brown.
Leucocoprinus flammeotinctus grows in pine needles in coniferous forests, often in coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest. It usually grows at somewhat low elevations.
