Pholiota aurivella · auksaviršė skujagalvė

Pholiota cerifera, P. adiposa, P. squarrosa-adiposa EN · golden scalycap DE · Goldfell-Schüppling LT · auksaviršė skujagalvė LV · zeltainā zvīņene PL · łuskwiak złotawy

It is found in northern and central Europe as well as in Asia and parts of North America. Cap 5 to 15 cm in diameter, bright golden yellow to rusty brown and with a slimy or greasy surface covered in darker-brown scales that sometimes wash off in wet weather. The crowded adnate gills are cream when young, turning reddish-brown as the spores develop. Stem 6 to 12mm in diameter and 3 to 9cm tall; lemon-yellow becoming browner with age; smooth above a pale cottony ring (persistent fragments of the partial veil) and having darker brown scales below the ring. The stem is solid with fibrous yellowish flesh.

Despite their attractive appearance, these and other scalycaps (Pholiota species) are definitely not edible mushrooms, although in the past some members of this genus were considered to be so.
