Bolbitis umbrosa
A little-documented Bolbitis of eastern Mexico and Honduras, recorded mostly between about 150 and 1,250 m. Like its relatives it most likely grows on wet rocks and banks beside shaded forest streams, so treat it as a shade-loving, constantly moist creek fern with a mild winter dip.
Where it grows wild
Specific habitat notes for this species are thin; Neotropical Bolbitis typically creep over wet boulders, stream banks and seepage slopes in humid lowland to lower montane forest, sometimes splashed or briefly submerged.
Recorded at 137–1,256 m, median about 920 m, so mostly submontane forest rather than hot lowland.
