Gerronema subclavatum is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Marasmiaceae. It is a small, delicate mushroom with a club-shaped or subclavate cap that ranges in color from yellowish-brown to reddish-brown. The gills are narrowly attached and the stem is slender. In East and Central Texas, Gerronema subclavatum has been found growing on decaying wood, particularly on oak and pine, in moist, shaded areas. Fruitings typically occur from spring to fall, with peak activity during the summer months. The fungus is relatively rare in the region, but can be locally common in suitable habitats.
