Hygrocybe punicea is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. It has been given the recommended English name of crimson waxcap.[2] The species has a European distribution,[1] occurring mainly in agriculturally unimproved grassland. Threats to its habitat have resulted in the species being assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1] Records of H. punicea from North America (where it is called scarlet waxy cap and occurs in woodland),[3] East Asia, and Australia require further research to see if they represent the same species.[1]
