Delicatula integrella is a small to minute, delicate fungus with a bell-shaped to convex cap, typically 0.5-2 cm in diameter, and a slender stem. It has a whitish to pale brown cap with a smooth to wrinkled surface and gills that are narrowly attached to the stem. In East and Central Texas, Delicatula integrella can be found growing on soil, decaying wood, or other organic matter in wooded areas, often in association with oak, pine, or cedar trees. Fruiting typically occurs from spring to fall, with a peak in late summer.
Observations of Delicatula integrella in East and Central Texas reveal the presence of this fungus in specific regions. In Hensel Park, College Station, Texas, tiny young mushrooms were found on February 28, 2018, indicating early growth stages. On the same day, more mature mushrooms of the same species were also observed in the same park, suggesting a range of developmental stages. The presence of Delicatula integrella in this area highlights its ability to thrive in local environments. The sightings in Hensel Park provide insight into the fungus's life cycle and habitat preferences in East and Central Texas. Further observations may reveal patterns of growth, distribution, and potential interactions with other organisms in the region. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of Delicatula integrella's ecology in this part of Texas.
