Crepidotus subfulviceps is a small to medium-sized, fan-shaped or semicircular fungus with a hairy, fulvous to tawny-brown cap and white gills. In East and Central Texas, it typically grows on decaying logs, stumps, and branches of hardwood trees, particularly oak and elm, from spring to fall. The cap is 1-4 cm wide, often wavy or lobed, and the stem is short to almost absent. Spores are ellipsoid, 7-10 x 5-6 μm, and the fungus has a mild, earthy odor. It can be found in wooded areas, including floodplains and slopes, in a variety of habitats, from moist to dry environments.
