Tubaria vinicolor, commonly known as the wine-colored twiglet, is a species of mushroom in the family Tubariaceae. It has a red cap, and is found in cities. It is rare, and found on the Pacific coast of North America. Tubaria vinicolor often grows on woodchips, and has a cortina. This cortina temporarily leaves a ring zone on the stipe. Tubaria vinicolor looks similar to T. punicea. However, T. punicea is typically found in forests, where it grows on madrone wood.
