Pholiota parvifructa

A small-fruited species first described by Peck as Agaricus parvifructus and long placed in Hebeloma, moved to Pholiota by Beker and Eberhardt in 2022 after DNA work. It is known from a handful of records in the eastern United States; cultivation is unreported and conditions below come from the measured climate and the genus.

Where it grows wild

Habitat details not documented in sources we could reach; its long placement in Hebeloma suggests it fruits on soil or buried woody debris rather than obviously on logs.

Records are lowland, about 20-180 m.
