The receptacle is colored ocher yellow to raspberry red, especially under the gleba at the tip. The gleba is olive green and slimy.

ecology
The raspberry-red dog's tail is a saprobiontic ground dweller; in Central Europe it rarely occurs in parks and gardens under deciduous and coniferous trees. The fruiting bodies appear from June to August.
distribution
The raspberry-red dog's tail is a species native to North America that is introduced to settlement areas in Central Europe. It is assumed that the species is spreading further in the course of global warming, which is why the German Society for Mycology has included it in a list of fungal species whose occurrence should be monitored more closely.
meaning
