Pholiota privigna

A small Pholiota described by Spegazzini from Tierra del Fuego peat bogs and moved into Pholiota by Singer in 1961. Old collections come from Sphagnum bogs in Tierra del Fuego and Isla de los Estados and from the páramo at Laguna Negra in the Venezuelan Andes. It is a cold, wet-bog species; the measured climate is from a tropical lowland grid cell and does not represent it.
