Tubaria furfuracea is a small to medium-sized fungus with a bell-shaped to convex cap that ranges in color from yellow-brown to reddish-brown, often with a powdery or scaly appearance. The gills are adnate to slightly decurrent and pale brown to pinkish-brown. The stem is slender, equal, and concolorous with the cap. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from spring to fall, often in clusters on rich soil, leaf litter, or well-rotted wood, particularly under deciduous trees such as oak and maple.
