The cap is convex to plane, tawny fading to pale yellow-buff; the pileus sometimes is cracked, or wrinkled. The gills have an adnate attachment to the stipe. The spore print is cinnamon-brown. The stem is cylindrical, equal, concolor with the cap and lacks of a ring; usually with white cords in the stem base. It is found in wood mulch. Odour and taste mealy (not bitter). This mushroom distributes in eastern North America.
Agrocybe sororia is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus that grows in clusters on soil, wood, and other organic matter. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from spring to fall, often in wooded areas with rich soil and abundant leaf litter. The cap is 1-4 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to convex, and ranges in color from light brown to tan or grayish-brown. The gills are crowded, free from the stem, and light brown to pinkish-brown. The stem is slender, 2-6 cm long, and typically the same color as the cap. It is a relatively common species in the region, found in a variety of habitats, including deciduous and mixed forests.

Masses of fieldcap mushrooms Agrocybe sororia in Wolf Pen Creek Park. College Station, Texas, February 26, 2018Wolf Pen Creek Trail, College Station, TX 77840, USAIn East and Central Texas, observations of the fungus Agrocybe sororia were made in Wolf Pen Creek Park, College Station. The mushroom was found growing on wood chips from recently cut bushes, indicating a preference for disturbed or decomposing organic matter. On February 26, 2018, single specimens and masses of fieldcap mushrooms were observed in the park, suggesting that Agrocybe sororia can thrive in this environment. The fungus appeared to be abundant, with multiple sightings recorded on the same day. The observations suggest that Agrocybe sororia is well adapted to the climate and habitat conditions found in East and Central Texas, particularly in areas with rich organic matter and disturbed soil. The presence of large numbers of mushrooms in a single location implies a robust mycelium and potential for significant ecological impact.
