Bolbitis simplex

A rare Bolbitis known only from Panama, with just three wild records. Its single measured site is very wet and humid with mild, steady temperatures, so it should be grown like other streamside Bolbitis: warm, shaded, humid and never dry.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing is published; by analogy with the genus it likely grows on wet rocks and stream banks in shaded rainforest.

Few records carry an elevation; the mild measured temperatures suggest a lower montane site.
