Pholiota lutaria

A rare Pholiota of wet, muddy lowland ground, as its name (of mud) suggests. About two dozen GBIF records come mostly from Dutch and Belgian polders, reclaimed land and waterside sites, with most collections in October and November. Conditions come from the measured climate and the habitat hints on specimen labels.
