Description
The gymnopus villosipes (Gymnopus villosipes) is native to California's sandy forest floors; however, it has found its way across the Pacific Ocean to Australia. They are now flourishing under pines in both places. The slender stem can commonly lean and topple over under the weight of this mushroom's wide cap.
