Near a secluded campsite along a winding creek within the dense forests of Little Lake Creek Wilderness in Sam Houston National Forest, Texas, some brittlestem mushrooms (Psathyrella) were found growing on the underside of tree trunks. The photograph was captured on November 12, 2023, during a hike along the North Wilderness Trail, particularly near Pole Creek. – generated by AI

The image displays the underside of three Psathyrella mushrooms that have been cut off at their stems. The mushroom caps are light brown with darker radial striations and thin white hairs around their edges. They rest on a layer of soil, twigs, and sand.

Psathyrella is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae, which contains about 300 species of mushrooms that are often called "false parasols".

They are small to medium-sized basidiomycetes characterized by white spores. They grow on ground litter or decaying wood. Most have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and aroma. The genus was created in 1874 by the German mycologist Paul Kummer, who named it Psathyrella from Greek ψαθύρ (psathyr), meaning "false parasol", referring to their resemblance to the edible puffball mushroom Lycoperdon pyriforme.

The image was taken near a primitive campsite. A sharp bend in Pole Creek is located on North Wilderness Trail of Little Lake Creek Wilderness in Sam Houston National Forest north from Montgomery, Texas. – AI vision
