Leratiomyces ceres,[1] commonly known as the chip cherry[2][3] or redlead roundhead, is mushroom which has a bright red to orange cap and dark purple-brown spore deposit. It is usually found growing gregariously on wood chips and is one of the most common and most distinctive mushrooms found in that habitat.[1][4] It is common on wood chips and lawns in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.[1] The name Stropharia aurantiaca has been used extensively but incorrectly for this mushroom (together with a number of similar synonyms).
