Clitocybe

Fog cap ( Clitocybe nebularis )

The funnel Linge ( Clitocybe ) are a genus of agarics, consisting of hundreds of species. The distinction is difficult for non-experts, and often requires the analysis of microscopic details. Apart from a few, easily identifiable species hopper bodies are rarely collected for consumption.

The type species is the fog cap ( Clitocybe nebularis ).

Features

Macroscopic characteristics

The funnel pieces include species with small to very large fruiting bodies. The color spectrum ranges from mostly white over gray to reddish meat up and brownish tones. The hats have a funnel-shaped depressed, but also genabelten habit. The margin is initially rolled. The surface may turn out dry and smooth, feinfilzig, fine scales or frosted. Hygrophane hats show a translucent grooving. Are located at the bottoms of predominantly weak to significantly reduce running disk, which can not be detached from the Huttrama. The leaves are thin, ungegabelt and narrowest basis. The color palette ranges from white to cream to gray - brown. The spore powder is white, cream colored to rosalich. The most central and cylindrical stem has a solid to elastic consistency. He is hardly fragile, fleshy soft but not cartilaginous. The always dry stem bark is bald, fibrous or frosted. The lower end of the handle is often busy tomentose - villous, substrate particles includes and can leak into root-like rhizomorphs. The rare discoloring meat is tender, but not leathery or tough.

Ecology

They live saprob by decomposing soil waste.

Phylogeny and Systematics

Molecular Biology analyzes indicate the species is polyphyl, ie some species are only distantly related, while other fungi are to be put into the closer relationship. In 2003 the mycologist Harri Harmaja has found 13 taxa in the genus satellite Infundibulicybe. The year before, landed three taxa in the genus satellite Ampulloclitocybe.

Species

In Europe, around 50 species are given or expected.

The Green anise Trichterling ( Clitocybe odora ) is edible but smells even after cooking even more intense anise.

Also the schmächtigere fragrance Trichterling ( Clitocybe fragrans ) exudes a distinctive anise smell.

The fruiting bodies of Rinnigbereiften funnel -form ( Clitocybe rivulosa ) like to grow in troop on poor grass.

The radicle - Trichterling ( Clitocybe radicellata ) appears in the cold season and has at the lower end of the handle white, root-like Hyphenstränge.

Toxicity

Some species of the genus Clitocybe are edible, but many are poisonous. Among others, contain the nerve poison muscarine.

In addition, the consumption of bamboo funnel -form ( Clitocybe acromelalga ) and the Perfumed funnel -form ( Clitocybe amoenolens ) has led to some cases of erythromelalgia which lasted 8 days to 5 months.
