Clitocybe peralbida is a small to medium-sized mushroom with a white to creamy cap, typically 1-3 cm in diameter, and a slender stem. It grows in clusters or scattered groups on the ground in wooded areas, often associated with oak and pine trees. In East and Central Texas, it is commonly found in the fall season, from September to November, in deciduous and mixed forests, particularly in areas with rich soil and abundant leaf litter. The fungus is widely distributed throughout the region, including the Piney Woods of East Texas and the Hill Country of Central Texas.

Texas, August 31, 2022Observations of Clitocybe peralbida in East and Central Texas reveal that the fungus grows on rotting wood and sticks. In Lick Creek Park, College Station, white lignicolous clitocyboid mushrooms were found on June 4, 2018. The underside of these mushrooms was also observed. Similar findings were recorded in Sam Houston National Forest, where Clitocybe peralbida grew from sticks near Pole Creek on August 31, 2022. The mushrooms were also spotted on a fallen stick in the same area. A spore print collected from the mushrooms showed a whitish color, consistent with the species' characteristics.
