''Hygrocybe coccinea'', sometimes called the scarlet hood, scarlet waxcap or righteous red waxy cap, is a colourful member of the mushroom ''genus'' ''Hygrocybe''. These waxcaps are found across the Northern Hemisphere from China and Japan to Europe and North America. The small bright red mushroom is a familiar sight in unimproved grasslands in Europe in late summer and autumn, and woodlands in North America in winter.
