Marasmius cohaerens is a small to medium-sized fungus with a bell-shaped to convex cap that ranges in color from white to light brown, often with a darker center. The gills are free from the stem and the spore print is white. In East and Central Texas, it typically grows in clusters or scattered groups on decaying wood, especially oak and elm, from spring to fall. The fungus is relatively common in the region's moist, wooded areas and along streams.
