(Gymnopus villosipes)
This frequently encountered saprobe is nearly always found in clusters or large troops, and can be quite abundant in some years. Caps range from wine-colored to reddish brown to dull brown in age or when dry. They are marcescent and can revive with renewed rains. Caps are depressed centrally, and usually prominently striate or wrinkled, smooth, moist and hygrophanous. Individual caps are usually 15-35 mm across. The gills are light brownish, close, narrow and attached to a gelatinous collar that can disappear, making the gills appear free. Stipes are up to 8 cm tall, wiry and covered with fine whitish hairs. Odor and taste are indistinct. Edibility is not known.
