Phloeomana speirea, commonly known as the bark bonnet,[2] is a species of fungus in the family Porotheleaceae. It is a bark-inhabiting agaric that produces fuscous-colored to whitish mycenoid to omphalinoid fruit bodies in temperate forests.[3] The fungus was first described to science as Agaricus speireus by Elias Fries in 1815.[4] Scott Redhead transferred it to the new genus Phloeomana in 2013, in which it is the type species.[3]
