Pholiota schraderi

Originally Stropharia schraderi Peck, moved to Pholiota by Overholts in 1924. GBIF has six records from Manitoba, Quebec (one labelled 'on dead wood'), Washington DC and a Swiss outlier. There was no usable climate data, so the values here are generic for temperate North American Pholiota.
