Singerocybe adirondackensis is a species of fungus in the family Crepidotaceae. It is a small to medium-sized mushroom with a bell-shaped to convex cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, and a slender stipe. The cap is often grayish-brown to tan, and the gills are crowded and whitish to pale gray. In East and Central Texas, Singerocybe adirondackensis has been found growing on the ground in deciduous and mixed forests, typically in association with oak, beech, and pine trees. It fruits from spring to fall, often in areas with rich soil and abundant leaf litter.
Singerocybe adirondackensis was observed in various locations across East and Central Texas. In College Station, funnel-shaped mushrooms resembling this species were found in Hensel Park on December 31, 2017. Similar observations were made in Sam Houston National Forest, where the fungus grew under small trees and bamboo growth on Caney Creek Trail on November 8, 2019. The underside of these mushrooms was also documented at this location. Additional sightings occurred at Little Thicket Nature Sanctuary in Cleveland, Texas on November 13, 2021, during a mushroom walk, and on North Wilderness Trail of Little Lake Creek Wilderness on November 14, 2021. In some cases, the species was tentatively identified as Clitocybe due to similarities in appearance. The fungus appears to thrive in wooded areas with abundant vegetation, particularly under bamboo growth.
