Leucoagaricus rubrotinctus, commonly known as the red-eyed parasol,[3] is a widespread species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It was described as new to science in 1884 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck as Agaricus rubrotinctus.[4] Rolf Singer transferred it to the genus Leucoagaricus in 1948.[5] The fungus may be a complex of several closely related species.[6] It is inedible.[7]
The cap is reddish brown and convex to flat.[2] The margin splits and causes lines of the whitish flesh to darken.[2] The gills are white and do not stain.[2] The stipe is whitish and enlarged at the base, with a fragile ring.[2]
