Pholiota cystidiata
Described in 2003 by Natarajan and Ravindran from India, named for its conspicuous cystidia; it is known essentially only from the original description. Everything below about growing it is inferred from the genus and a humid South Indian forest habitat.
Where it grows wild
Presumably a saprotroph on wood or woody debris in humid Indian forest, as most Pholiota are; the habitat in the protologue could not be checked.
No elevation data; South Indian agaric surveys of that period often covered hill forests of the Western Ghats.
