Tubaria furfuracea, commonly known as the scurfy twiglet[1] or totally tedious tubaria,[2] is a common species of agaric fungus in the family Tubariaceae. It was first described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1801 as a species of Agaricus.[3] French mycologist Claude-Casimir Gillet transferred it to the genus Tubaria in 1876.[4]
The mushroom cap is 1–4 cm wide, orange-brown, convex to flat and depressed, with small marginal patches of veil which disappear with age or rain; its odor is mild.[5] The gills are brown and adnate to slightly decurrent.[5] The stalk is 1–5 cm tall and 2–4 mm wide.[5] The spores are pale reddish-brown, elliptical, and smooth.[5]
The species is considered inedible.[6]
Similar species include T. confragosa,[5] Galerina marginata, and Psilocybe cyanescens.
