Pholiota aurivella Golden Scalycap growing on a birch tree.
Pholiota aurivella is an infrequent species in many parts of Britain and Ireland but more common in the south-east of England and of Wales where mature Beech trees are more abundant. Easily confused with other greasy-capped members of the genus Pholiota (the so-called scalycaps), such as Pholiota alnicola which grows on alders and Pholiota gummosa which is often seen growing in grass beside sick or dead deciduous trees, the Golden Scalycap is one of the largest mushrooms in this group.
