This is unusual since this species more frequently grows on broadleaved trees. The grown up pilei become much larger than those shown on these pictures. Pholiota squarrosa is quite a common mushroom here. Its determination is not difficult because of its typical habit and characteristic scales all over it. Yet, mistakes are not impossible since at least three other very similar species of this genus grow in Slovenia - Pholiota aurivella, Pholiota adiposa and Pholiota jahinii (Ref.1.) Pholiota aurivella grows on Salix and is only somewhat viscid or dry while Pholiota squarosa is always dry, without slime. Pholiota adiposa has a strongly glutinous, lustrous pileus with thin scales (Ref.:7) and Pholiota jahinii is also slimy and grows only on decayed broadleaved wood (Ref.:1).Ref.: (1) Personal communication (conf.) with Mr. Bojan Rot, www.gobenabovskem.si(2) D.

This was a good find, and a first for me. My id is based mainly on the appearance, which I hope is distinctive enough for this to be reliable!
