Resinomycena saccharifera is a species of fungus that grows on coniferous trees, particularly pine and spruce. In East and Central Texas, it has been found on eastern red cedar and shortleaf pine. The fungus produces small, white to yellowish-brown mushrooms with a waxy or resinous appearance, typically 1-5 mm in diameter. It is often associated with decaying wood and can be found in wooded areas, particularly in the fall and winter months.

Small white gilled mushrooms Resinomycena saccharifera(?) on bamboo stems and leaves on Kiwanis Nature Trail. College Station, Texas, September 9, 2020705 Gilchrist Ave, College Station, TX 77840, USAObservations of the fungus Resinomycena saccharifera in East and Central Texas reveal its presence on various parts of bamboo plants. On the Kiwanis Nature Trail in College Station, Texas, small white gilled mushrooms were found growing on leaves of Arundinaria gigantea on September 9, 2020. Additionally, they were observed on twigs and bamboo leaves, as well as on bamboo stems and leaves in the same location and date. The fungus appears to have a affinity for bamboo, colonizing different parts of the plant. These sightings suggest that Resinomycena saccharifera is able to thrive in this environment, forming a symbiotic relationship with the bamboo host. The repeated observations on the Kiwanis Nature Trail indicate a potential hotspot for this species in East and Central Texas. Further study could provide insight into its ecological role and distribution.
