Crassisporium funariophilum. Wild Fire Mushrooms growing on a burn site, along the upper end of Upper Willow Creek, in Granite County, Montana. Upper Willow Creek is a tributary of Rock Creek, which in turn feed the Clark Fork of the Columbia River. Crassisporium funariophilum mushrooms are often mistaken for the very similar Pholiota highlandensis species, as they both thrive on the same chared wood niche, are close in color and shape, and are often found growing in close proimity to one another. The mushroom goes by several common names, such as Burn-Loving Pholiota, and Wild Fire Mushroom. Its scientific synonyms include Pholiota subangularis, Kuehneromyces carbonicola, and Pachylepyrium carbonicola. Kingdom: Fungi Division: Basidiomycota Class: Agaricomycetes Order: Agaricales Family: Crassisporiaceae Genus: Crassisporium Species: C. funariophilum
