AI-generated summary of observations

Observations of Leucocoprinus viridiflavoides in East and Central Texas reveal that the fungus grows in shady areas, often near rotten wood or under bamboo. In Lick Creek Park and Hensel Park, mushrooms were found on rotten wood and under bamboo, respectively. The gills of the mushrooms were observed to be a notable feature. The fungi were typically found in deep shade, suggesting a preference for low-light conditions. Photographs taken on black backgrounds highlighted the caps and gills of the mushrooms. Later observations in June 2021 confirmed the continued presence of the fungus in Hensel Park, with specimens found near rotting wood. Overall, the observations suggest that Leucocoprinus viridiflavoides thrives in shaded, humid environments with abundant organic matter. The species appears to be relatively common in the region, with multiple sightings over several years.
