Lepiota roseolivida is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a pinkish-brown to olive-brown cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, and a slender stipe. In East and Central Texas, it is commonly found growing solitary or in small groups on the ground in wooded areas, particularly under oak, pine, and mesquite trees, during the fall season, from September to November. The fungus is considered rare to uncommon in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
