This photograph captures a cluster of pale brown brittlestem mushrooms (Psathyrella) nestled among pine needles on the forest floor near a forest road crossing on Lone Star Hiking Trail within Sam Houston National Forest in Richards, Texas.

The mushrooms are characterized by their light-brown caps and white stems, which exhibit a fragile or 'brittle' quality.
