Pholiota nubicola

Described by Rolf Singer as Pachylepyrium nubicola from South American cloud forest and moved to Pholiota by Matheny, Moreau and colleagues in 2014. GBIF records come from Germany, Estonia and the UK as well as Venezuela, so the measured climate is mostly European. Pachylepyrium species are associated with burnt ground and woody debris.
