Pholiota granulosa

A scalycap of dead hardwood in eastern North America, named by Peck and combined into Pholiota by Smith & Hesler in 1968. Specimen labels say hardwood logs, including maple, elm and alder, and it fruits in summer rather than autumn. Cultivation is unrecorded; conditions come from the measured climate and specimen data.
