Omphalina pyxidata is a small to medium-sized, funnel-shaped mushroom with a waxy cap that ranges in color from grayish-brown to reddish-brown. It typically grows in clusters on moss, soil, and decaying wood in moist environments. In East and Central Texas, Omphalina pyxidata has been found in wooded areas, particularly under pine and oak trees, during the spring and fall months when temperatures are mild and rainfall is abundant. The fungus tends to thrive in shaded, humid microhabitats with rich soil and ample organic matter.
