Macroscopic features
The hat has a strong cinnamon fox or cinnamon yellow color and is often a little lighter at the edge. The surface is smooth and bare, only slightly ingrown and fibrous. Sometimes it has darker spots. It has a diameter of two to five centimeters. The lamellae are yellowish at first and turn cinnamon-brown when ripe and then often have foxed spots. The slats are crowded and bulged. In old age they are free. The stem is pale yellow and covered with white velum. Sometimes it has a cortinal ring track. The flesh is yellowish, the smell a bit obtrusively spicy. The taste is bitter. The spore powder is yellow-brown.
Microscopic features
The spores are apple core-shaped, finely warty and 6.5–8.5 × 4–5.5 micrometers in size.
Species delimitation
If the middle of the hat is very red, it can be confused with a fully grown reddish wooden knight , the stem of which, however, has yellow-red gradients.
ecology
Like the wood knights , this scarfling occurs on dead wood of mainly coniferous trees, especially pines . It occurs mainly in the lowlands and is also native to Central Europe.
