Pholiota cyatheicola

A Caribbean Pholiota named for growing on tree ferns (Cyathea), transferred by Smith and Hesler in 1968 from a Murrill name; GBIF holds a single Jamaican record. Nothing is published on cultivation, so conditions here follow the recorded site and the tree-fern habitat.

Where it grows wild

Grows on the trunks and dead fibrous stems of tree ferns in humid montane forest, as the name indicates; further ecology is not documented that we could find.

Tree-fern forest in Jamaica lies mainly in the Blue Mountains and other uplands above about 1,000 m; the record carries no elevation.
