Pholiota truncata

A Pholiota described by Natarajan and Raman in 1983 in their account of South Indian Agaricales. GBIF has no occurrence records and nothing on its ecology is reachable, so the conditions below are generalised from the genus and the monsoon climate of southern India.

Where it grows wild

Substrate not documented in anything reachable; presumed on decaying wood or woody debris in forest.

No elevation data; the South Indian collections of that work came from both the plains and the Western Ghats hills.

Southern India

🔒 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
