Pholiota abietis

A scalycap of conifer wood, as its name (of fir) indicates, described by Smith & Hesler in 1968. Most records come from the inland Pacific Northwest, with outliers in northeast China and the Urals. Conditions are built from the measured climate and what is known for Pholiota generally; no cultivation reports exist for this species.
