Pholiota lurida

A North American Pholiota described by Smith and Hesler in 1968, recorded fewer than 20 times: Washington's Puget lowlands and Olympic Mountains, Michigan, Alaska and eastern Canada. One Michigan label reads on debris among aspen. Conditions are built from the measured climate and general Pholiota practice.
