In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from spring to fall, forming small to medium-sized clusters of caps that are 1-4 cm in diameter, with colors ranging from pinkish-brown to reddish-brown. The stems are slender, 2-6 cm long, and hairy at the base. Microscopic features include ellipsoid to cylindrical spores that are 7-10 μm long. It is commonly found in woodland areas, particularly under oak, pine, and other deciduous trees, and can be associated with a variety of substrates, including leaf litter, twigs, and moss.
