Extract from Wikipedia article: Crinipellis zonata, commonly known as the zoned Crinipellis or the zoned-cap Collybia, is a species of gilled mushroom in the family Marasmiaceae. Though considered a little brown mushroom of unknown edibility, it is distinctive because of its thick covering of coarse hairs, and differentiated from other members of Crinipellis by its slightly larger cap size, which reaches up to 25 mm (1.0 in) in diameter. The white gills on the underside of the cap are crowded closely together, and are free from attachment to the stem. Saprobic, it grows on the dead wood of deciduous trees from late summer to autumn. The fungus is found commonly in eastern North America, but has also been collected in Portugal and Korea. The variety C. zonata var. cremoricolor, found in eastern North America, may be distinguished microscopically by its longer spores.

Collybia zonata is a small to medium-sized fungus with a bell-shaped to convex cap, 1-4 cm in diameter, featuring distinctive zonate or ring-like patterns on the cap surface. The gills are crowded and free from the stem. It grows in clusters on decaying wood, stumps, and logs, typically in deciduous forests. In East and Central Texas, Collybia zonata can be found fruiting from spring to fall, particularly in areas with abundant hardwoods like oak and maple. The fungus is relatively common in the region's woodland edges, streamsides, and urban parks, often occurring on moist, shaded substrates.
