Tubaria conspersa, commonly known as the felted twiglet, is a species of mushroom in the genus Tubaria. It grows on duff and woody debris.

Taxonomy and distribution

Tubaria conspersa was first described in 1800 by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon as Agaricus conspersus. In 1889, Victor Fayod transferred it into the genus Tubaria. While Tubaria conspersa is found in both Europe and the Pacific Northwest, the European and Pacific Northwestern species are thought to be distinct.

Description

The convex to flat cap of Tubaria conspersa is about 7 millimeters to 2.5 centimeters in diameter. It is tannish in color, and the gills are adnate. The scaly stipe is the same color as the cap. The spore print is pale brown.
