Hypholoma fasciculare, also known as the sulfur tuft, is a common, poisonous fungus found in clusters on stumps, logs, and tree roots. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from spring to fall, producing yellowish-green to greenish-blue caps with sulfur-yellow gills and stems. The caps are 1-4 cm in diameter and often have a distinctive umbo or bump in the center. It grows in a variety of wooded habitats, including deciduous and coniferous forests, and is often found on deciduous trees such as oak and elm.
