Pseudosperma rimosum is a species of fungus in the family Inocybaceae. It has a small to medium-sized cap that is bell-shaped to convex, often with a wavy or lobed margin, and ranges in color from brown to grayish-brown. The gills are crowded and attached to the stem, with a similar color to the cap. In East and Central Texas, Pseudosperma rimosum typically fruits in late summer to early fall, often in association with oak and other hardwood trees. It can be found growing solitary or in small groups on the ground in wooded areas, particularly in moist, shaded environments.
