Hypholoma confusum

A Hypholoma described by R.W.G. Dennis in Kew Bulletin in 1961, when he was publishing fungi from tropical South America and the Caribbean. GBIF has no usable wild records, so nothing here is measured. Conditions are a genus-level guess for a small tropical saprotroph.

Where it grows wild

Unknown. Dennis's work in this period was on neotropical forest fungi, so humid tropical or montane forest is likely; not confirmed.

No elevation data.

🔒 Growing it like that

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
✓ Substrate and airflow
✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
