Hygrophorus chrysodon, commonly known as the flaky waxy cap,[1] or gold flecked woodwax [2] is a species of fungus in the genus Hygrophorus.

[4][5] The species is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

[6] The specific epithet chrysodon is Greek for 'golden tooth', a reference to the species' gold-hued granules or hairs, which are found on the cap (especially near the edge), stipe, and gills.

[6] The caps reach 4–14 centimetres (1+1⁄2–5+1⁄2 inches), with gills subdecurrent to decurrent.

[7] The fruit bodies are white, sometimes with a tinge of yellow.
