Tubaria rufofulva (Burgundy Wood Tubaria)
The fruitbody is a mushroom with a cap atop a central stem. The cap is initially somewhat conical but flattens with age (but may keep a small central hump, or umbo). It is more or less smooth (though there may be tiny scattered scales) and grow to 6 centimetres in diameter. The stem is up to 4 centimetres long and half a centimetre wide. The mushroom is a in shades of wine-red, maroon or burgundy throughout.
There is a partial veil which leaves a whitish ring of tissue around the upper part of the stem, but that veil remnant may disappear over time (so it pays to look for any wispy traces). There is no universal veil.

The species was first described in 1927 (as Pholiota rufofulva) based on material collected in South Australia.
Look-alikes
