Gamundia striatula is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a bell-shaped to convex cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, featuring distinctive radial striations or veins on the cap surface. The cap is often brown to tan in color, while the gills are adnate to slightly decurrent and white to cream-colored. The stem is slender, 1-3 cm long, and white to light brown. In East and Central Texas, Gamundia striatula has been found growing in association with oak and pine trees, typically in well-drained soils and under moist conditions. Fruitings often occur from spring to fall, with a peak in late summer.
