Extract from Wikipedia article: Cortinarius xanthodryophilus is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus Cortinarius native to North America.
Cortinarius xanthodryophilus is a small to medium-sized mushroom with a bell-shaped to convex cap that ranges in color from yellow-brown to golden brown, often with a darker center. The gills are adnate to slightly decurrent and pale yellow to yellow-brown. The stem is slender, typically the same color as the cap, and has a white to yellowish base. In East and Central Texas, this fungus has been found in association with oak and pine trees, often fruiting from late summer to early fall in areas with rich soil and adequate moisture. Specimens have been collected in a variety of habitats, including woodland edges, savannas, and along streams.

Brown webcap mushrooms Cortinarius subgenus Phlegmacium, could be Cortinarius xanthodryophilus, on Kiwanis Nature Trail. College Station, Texas, January 6, 2018
Kiwanis Nature Trail, College Station, Brazos County, Texas, 77843, United StatesObservations of the fungus Cortinarius xanthodryophilus in East and Central Texas reveal that it can be found in the region during different times of the year. On November 17, 2017, a brown webcap mushroom, potentially Cortinarius xanthodryophilus, was spotted on Kiwanis Nature Trail in College Station, Texas. A similar sighting occurred on January 6, 2018, at the same location, with multiple brown webcap mushrooms of the Cortinarius subgenus Phlegmacium, possibly Cortinarius xanthodryophilus, being observed. These findings suggest that Cortinarius xanthodryophilus may be present in the area during both fall and winter months, and can thrive in the specific habitat provided by Kiwanis Nature Trail. The repeated sightings at this location indicate a potential hotspot for this species in East and Central Texas. Further research is needed to confirm the identity of these specimens.
