Mushrooms Tricholoma albidum(?) among oak leaves near a small creek bottom on Little Lake Creek Loop Trail east from Trailhead No. 4 in Sam Houston National Forest, near Montgomery. Texas, January 2, 2021Little Lake Creek Loop Trail, Montgomery, TX 77356, USAObservations of Tricholoma albidum in East and Central Texas reveal that the fungus tends to thrive in moist environments. Specifically, it has been found near small creek bottoms, where the soil is likely to be rich in organic matter and moisture. On Little Lake Creek Loop Trail in Sam Houston National Forest, the mushrooms were spotted on January 2, 2021, growing among oak leaves and near a creek bottom. This suggests that the species may have a preference for deciduous leaf litter and the humid microclimate created by the proximity to water. The fungus appears to be active during the winter months, as evidenced by the sighting in early January. Further observations are needed to confirm the identity of the species and fully understand its habitat preferences in East and Central Texas. Similar habitats may support growth of this fungus.
