A small, fragile member of the informal "Little Brown Mushroom" family, the clustered bonnet may be tricky for novice mushroom hunters to identify. The species does tend to be gregarious, growing in large clusters on decaying hardwoods, which may be helpful with identification. Clustered bonnets are native to eastern North America and are commonly found in moist woodlands.
