Pholiota sordida

Described by the Jesuit mycologist Johannes Rick in 1920; Rick worked in Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil, which is presumably where it was found. Nothing further is published that we could reach, and GBIF has no records.

Where it grows wild

Presumably a wood decayer in the subtropical Atlantic forest of southern Brazil, where most of Rick's Pholiota were found; habitat is not documented.

Unknown; Rick's collecting areas in Rio Grande do Sul lie mostly below 800 m.

🔒 Growing it like that

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates

✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it

✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light

✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it

✓ Substrate and airflow

✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
