Red Striped Mushroom
"I’m often called a Red Mushroom, Red-brown Mushroom, and even a Pimples Mushroom. One look at my face and you can see why!"

Other names for the Red Stripe Mushroom A. ferrugatus are the Pimples Mushroom, the Red Mushroom, or the Red-brown Mushroom. Due to it’s rusty brown color, it is very recognizable.
