Leucoagaricus croceus is a species of mushroom-producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae.
[3] Leucoagaricus croceus is a small dapperling mushroom with a reddish orange cap and white stem and flesh.
Cap: 3-6cm wide, starting bulbous before becoming subumbonate and expanding to plano-convex with an obtuse umbo.
The surface is reddish-orange when immature but fades towards the cap edges as it expands until it has a reddish-orange centre with a pale, pastel red colour spreading across the surface to the white margins.
[3] The specific epithet croceus is named in reference to the reddish orange cap colour.
