Pholiota subcarbonaria

A Pholiota recombined by Smith and Hesler (1968) from a Murrill name, known from a few old California collections (Berkeley campus under eucalyptus and Monterey cypress, and Santa Maria). The epithet hints at burnt ground, but nothing beyond the type data is published that we could find, so conditions here follow the measured coastal Californian climate.

Where it grows wild

Collected on the ground or debris under planted Eucalyptus and Monterey cypress in coastal California; the name suggests a burn-site or charcoal association like Pholiota carbonaria (P. highlandensis). Treat as a litter or debris decomposer.

Recorded sites are near sea level (15–71 m).
