The witch hat mushroom, also known as the conical tooth mushroom or hygrocybe conica, is a visually striking fungus that is often mistaken for a traditional witch's hat. It is a small to medium-sized mushroom, typically growing to a height of 2-10 centimeters. The most distinctive feature of the witch hat mushroom is its shape. It has a conical or bell-shaped cap that tapers to a point, resembling the classic image of a witch's hat. The cap can range in color from bright orange, yellow, or red to a more muted brown or gray. It is often covered with fine scale-like fibers that give it a velvety or fuzzy appearance.
