Pholiota marthae

Pholiota marthae is a scalycap described by Rolf Singer in 1969 from Argentina, with one GBIF record near the Río de la Plata coast of Uruguay. Nothing specific is published on its ecology, so the conditions here are generalised from wood-decaying Pholiota and the one measured site.

Where it grows wild

Substrate is not documented; most Pholiota species decay wood or woody debris, and this profile assumes the same.

The only record is from a lowland coastal site (about 13 m).

🔒 Growing it like that

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
✓ Substrate and airflow
✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
