Pholiota brunneodisca

Pholiota brunneodisca is a North American scalycap first described by Charles Peck as Flammula brunneodisca and moved to Pholiota by Smith and Hesler in 1968. Herbarium labels place it in the northeastern and central United States on rotten wood and on the ground under pines, fruiting in summer and autumn. Nothing on its cultivation is published, so conditions come from the genus and those labels.
