General 

The word “pholiota” means scaly in Latin, and “adiposa” comes from the name of lard or grease. The caps of these mushrooms have a scaly texture and the surface of the cap has a greasiness to it. The caps will feel slimy if wet. 

In the wild the chestnut mushrooms primarily grow on beech trees, although they have also been found on oaks and poplars. 

The caps of the mushrooms are yellow with brownish scales and there may be veil fragments present before they are ready to harvest.

Description

Pholiota adiposa is a species of fungus in the family Strophariaceae commonly known as the chestnut mushroom. It was originally described by German naturalist August Batsch in 1786 as a species of Agaricus. Paul Kummer transferred it to the genus Pholiota in 1871. It is found in Europe, where it grows both saprophytically and as a weak parasite on living and dead stems of European beech trees.
