About Phloeomana speirea (Fr.) Redhead
Phloeomana speirea, commonly called the bark bonnet, is a fungal species belonging to the family Porotheleaceae. It is a bark-dwelling agaric fungus that grows fuscous-colored to whitish mycenoid to omphalinoid fruiting bodies in temperate forests. Elias Fries first formally described this species for science in 1815 under the name Agaricus speireus. In 2013, Scott Redhead moved the species to the newly established genus Phloeomana, where it is classified as the type species.
