Hemipholiota populnea is a mushroom-forming fungus commonly known as destructive Pholiota, although separate from the genus Pholiota.[1]

The tannish cap is up to 18 centimetres (7 in) wide and the stem is up to 10 cm (4 in) long. Remnants of the partial veil are present. The spore print is brown.[2] It resembles Neolentinus ponderosus and members of Hypsizygus.[2]

It is saprobic and fruits on the wood of hardwood logs, especially cottonwood.[3] It can be found in much of North America from September to November.[2]
