Pholiota caespitosa

Pholiota caespitosa is a scalycap described by Smith and Hesler in 1968; the name means growing in tufts, and GBIF records come from the northern United States and Canada. Its ecology is not documented in the sources reached, so cultivation conditions are inferred from clustered wood-decaying Pholiota and the measured cold-winter sites.

Where it grows wild

Substrate is not recorded in the sources reached; the tufted habit the name describes is typical of Pholiota fruiting from wood, which this profile assumes.

The records carry no elevation.
