Pholiota rufodisca

A scalycap with a reddish disc, described by Smith & Hesler in 1968. Most records come from high-elevation conifer forest in Arizona and New Mexico (2,300-3,000 m), with others in Washington, Idaho and one in British Columbia. Conditions are built from the measured climate and what is known for Pholiota generally.

Where it grows wild

Montane conifer forest; the exact substrate was not in sources reached, but the high spruce-fir and pine forests of its main sites suggest conifer wood or woody debris.

Weighted sites lie at 2,280-3,030 m in the Southwest, plus 760-840 m in the Northwest.
