Species Profile
Chestnut (Pholiota adiposa) grow in clusters. They have brown or rusty tops with little speckles. The stems are edible along with the caps and stay more crunchy when cooked.
Grow best on sterilized, nutrified sawdust. Fruit in cooler temperatures, (10oC to 12oC) with very high humidity. They are slow growing and take 3-4 weeks to fruit once the bag is opened.
