Simocybe haustellaris is a species of fungus that grows on decaying wood, typically oak and other hardwoods. In East and Central Texas, it has been found in wooded areas, particularly in the fall season. The fungus produces small to medium-sized fruiting bodies with bell-shaped or convex caps that range in color from brown to tan, and have a velvety texture. The gills are crowded and attached to the stem, which is slender and cylindrical. Microscopic features include spores that are elliptical in shape and measure 7-10 micrometers in length.
Observations of the fungus Simocybe haustellaris in East and Central Texas revealed its presence in various locations. On February 28, 2018, small oysterling-like mushrooms were found in Hensel Park, College Station, Texas. The specimens were characterized by their delicate appearance and growth on decaying wood. Further observations in the region showed that Simocybe haustellaris tends to thrive in areas with rich organic matter, such as forest floors and near tree trunks. In East Texas, the fungus was also found growing on fallen logs and stumps, often in association with other decomposer fungi. The species' distribution and abundance varied across different habitats, with some areas exhibiting dense clusters of fruiting bodies while others had more scattered occurrences. Overall, Simocybe haustellaris appears to be a common component of the fungal community in East and Central Texas.
