Extract from Wikipedia article: Marasmius fulvoferrugineus is a species of agaric fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. Described as new to science in 1976, it is found in the southeastern United States. The mushroom is frequently confused with Marasmius siccus, and microscopy is needed to reliably distinguish between them.
Marasmius fulvoferrugineus is a small to medium-sized fungus with a rusty-red to reddish-brown cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, and a slender stem. It grows in clusters on decaying leaves, wood, and other organic matter. In East and Central Texas, it is commonly found in wooded areas, particularly under oak and pine trees, during the summer and fall months. The fungus is widely distributed in the region, with sightings reported in counties including Brazos, Grimes, and Travis.
