Pholiota multicingulata is a species of mushroom of the family Strophariaceae. It was first described by the Austrian mycologist Egon Horak in 1983. A saprotroph, P. multicingulata is primarily found on decaying wood, but can also be found on soil. It has been recorded in Australia, New Zealand, several countries in Asia, and Chile. P. multicingulata morphologically and microscopically ranges in colour and spore size, possibly due to climatic and regional variation. The species has been implicated in two non-fatal mushroom-poisoning cases in China.
