Pholiota chacoensis

Pholiota chacoensis is a scalycap described by Spegazzini in 1926 from the Argentine Chaco. Its single GBIF record is from Resistencia in January, the hot wet season. Nothing further on its ecology was reachable, so this profile adapts the genus to a hot subtropical lowland.

Where it grows wild

Substrate is not recorded in the sources reached; most Pholiota decay wood or woody debris, and this profile assumes the same.

The one record is from the Chaco lowlands (Resistencia, about 50 m).

✓ 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
