The gingerbread-brown rufous milkcap is a very common mushroom and can be found on the Barff growing on the Pine and Birch trees.  They can be found between June to October.  The cap is evenly reddish brown, with a silky sheen when dry. In young mushrooms, the cap is domed, whereas in older specimens, it grows flat, or funnel shaped. There is often a clearly visible tip in the middle of the cap. The gills are white with a touch of reddish brown. The stem is slim and the same colour as the cap, but paler, hollow and porous.
