Pholiota montana

A South American Pholiota described by Rolf Singer in 1965, known from two Argentine records. The recorded site has a warm, dry summer and cool, wet winter, so fruiting most likely follows the autumn rains. Details beyond the name and location are not documented in the sources checked.
