Rotknolliger Schirmling

Lepiota ignivolvata is a medium-sized Lepiota mushroom distinguished by its distinctive orange-red volva-like zone near the base of the stipe and a pale, scaly cap. It grows in deciduous and mixed forests across temperate Europe, often under oaks and beeches. Classified as Endangered and potentially toxic due to amatoxins, it is threatened by habitat loss and forest management changes.
