Pholiota vinaceobrunnea

A scalycap described by Smith and Hesler in 1968, with 11 usable GBIF records across the Pacific Northwest, from the Olympic Peninsula and Cascades to northern Idaho and Oregon. Little is published beyond the description, so the conditions below come from the measured climate and the genus.
