Pholiota aurivella is a species of fungus in the family Strophariaceae that is found in native forest of New Zealand[2] and in the United States. It is frequently found in the American West and Southwest, especially in late summer and fall. Some books list it as edible,[3] but David Arora and Roger Phillips list it as inedible.[4][5] It is sticky or slimy when moist and grows in clusters on live or dead trees.[3][4]
