Pholiota sienna

Originally Stropharia sienna Kauffman, transferred by Smith & Hesler in 1968; the name refers to its sienna-brown colour. GBIF has four records, with georeferenced ones near Niagara (Ontario) and in southwest Oregon. Conditions blend those two climates with what is known for temperate Pholiota.
