Hypholoma sublateritium
(Fries) Quelet
Introduction: A favorite of Midwest mushroom hunters, great clusters of this species are often
found on dead hardwoods,
especially stumps, logs, and soils rich in wood debris. The Japanese have

Common Names: Kuritake (Japanese for The Chestnut Mushroom)
Brick Top
Red Woodlover
