A single mushroom with a dark red cap and white stem against bronze coloured leaves. The cap fills the width of the frame almost, and is a mottled wine red with paler red and gold patches showing. The cap is tilted slightly to the left showing the white gills underneath, and is illuminated from the right, throwing some of the cap into faint shadow. The cap is supported by a white stem with a textured surface. The texture is somewhat bark like but not very pronounced. There are fragments of dead leaves on the cap.
