👉 Hopkinsiella is a genus of fungi in the family Lecithoraceae, which includes several species that produce a wide range of mushrooms, including the commonly known "red" mushroom. This genus is characterized by its distinctive, white or pinkish-tan cap, which can be either smooth or curved and often bears a distinctive black ring around it. The spores on the caps are typically spherical, with a thin wall covering the surface that enables them to grow into new mushrooms.
