Description
The deadly dapperling is a highly toxic mushroom that lives up to its name. This species has a round, red-brown cap, usually with scales, that fades in color with age. Deadly dapperlings may look similar to a few commonly foraged species, including fairy ring champignons, and for this reason they are occasionally ingested by accident, with unpleasant results.
