Psathyrella corrugis is a small to medium-sized fungus with a bell-shaped cap that ranges from 1-4 cm in diameter, featuring a wrinkled or corrugated surface, and a slender stem. It typically grows in clusters on rich soil, rotting wood, or other organic matter. In East and Central Texas, Psathyrella corrugis can be found fruiting from spring to fall, often in moist areas with abundant vegetation, such as along streams, rivers, and in woodland edges, particularly under deciduous trees like oak and elm. The cap color varies from brown to grayish-brown, and the gills are crowded and attached to the stem.

Red edge brittlestem mushrooms (Psathyrella corrugis, Psathyrella gracilis) on wood chips in Bee Creek Park. College Station, Texas, December 14, 20181601 Valley View Dr, College Station, TX 77840, USAObservations of Psathyrella corrugis in East and Central Texas reveal that the fungus grows in clusters on mulched paths and wood chips. On December 14, 2018, in Bee Creek Park, College Station, Texas, red edge brittlestem mushrooms were found on a mulched path, displaying characteristic features such as gills. The mushrooms were also observed growing on wood chips in the same park, suggesting a preference for decomposing organic matter. The observations highlight the species' ability to thrive in disturbed environments with abundant nutrient-rich substrates. The fungus's growth patterns and habitat preferences are consistent with those of other Psathyrella species, which often colonize areas with high levels of organic debris. The presence of Psathyrella corrugis in East and Central Texas suggests a widespread distribution of the species in the region.
