Crepidotus mollis

Gallertfleischiges stub feet ( Crepidotus mollis )

The inedible, saprobiontisch living Gallertfleischige stub feet ( Crepidotus mollis ) is a species of fungus in the family plan fungal relatives ( Inocybaceae ). The pale ocher- colored, shell - to kidney-shaped fruiting bodies are sessile grown on the substrate, the fins are dirty brownish and the spore powder brown. The fruiting bodies appear throughout the year of dead deciduous wood, most often they are found from August to October.

Features

Macroscopic characteristics

The domed hat is 2-6 cm wide and shell - to kidney-shaped. He is sessile grown laterally on the substrate. The surface is bare until finely tomentose and dirty whitish to cream - gray brownish. Also olive-brown hues occur. In old specimens the margin is more or less curled. The smooth, transparent hat skin is removable and rubbery stretchable.

The closely spaced fins grow in a lateral point along stalk -like. They are initially grauweißlich, later dirty brown and cinnamon in old age. The spore powder is tobacco.

A stalk usually missing, but if a tiny, rudimentary stalk, if present, this is fine - tomentose. The jelly-like, glassy -looking meat is pale to olive - brown and smells normal. The taste is mild and very characteristic.

Microscopic characteristics

The elliptic to almond-shaped spores are smooth and measure 6.5-9 × 4.5-6 microns. The almost filamentous cheilocystidia are partly somewhat bulbous thickened or capitate.

Artabgrenzung

With his gelatinous Cap flesh Gallertfleischige the stub feet is within its genre an exception and is therefore easy to determine. The remaining species can usually only be microscopically determined with certainty. The variety calolepis differs from the type by the scaly hat. All other types of stub feet have dry hats and are much smaller and dünnfleischiger. Other similar genera with gelatinous Cap flesh, like the dwarf ball Inge ( Panellus ) or Musch Linge ( Hohenbuehelia ), are distinguished by their white spore powder.

Ecology

One finds the Gallertfleischige stub feet in beech and mixed forests book, in Shatt slopes and oak-hornbeam forests as well as in Au and swamp forests, bogs and poplar forests. Law rarely occurs in coniferous forests and forest, preferably spruce ago. Also in hedges, forest edges and in parks of the ground vague fungus was found. The fruiting bodies of Saprobionten often grow imbricated to hanging and lying branches or stumps, rarely also on living trunks. The fungus grows on various deciduous, rarely also on softwoods. Most commonly it is found on beech, followed by ash, poplar, willow and oak. It can also grow on many other deciduous trees. The fruiting bodies appear throughout the year, they are most common from August to end of October, only in the spring, they are quite rare.

Dissemination

The fungus was in Australia, New Zealand, South, Central (Costa Rica ) and North America (Canada, USA), in Asia (Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Siberia, China, Mongolia, Japan, North Korea and South Korea), North Africa, the Canary Islands and Madeira, as well as in Europe demonstrated.

In southern Europe the stub feet of the Iberian Peninsula is spread to the Black Sea. Also on the Mediterranean islands of Mallorca and Sardinia he was detected. It is found throughout western Europe and often and comes in UK northward up to the Hebrides. Its distribution area covers the whole of Central Europe, ranging as far east as Russia. In the north, the fungus is spread throughout Fennoscandia and Estonia and Russia to the east. In Sweden it is found as far north as the 65th degree of latitude.

In Germany the species is widespread and at least partially quite often.

Importance

The Gallertfleischige stub feet is not an edible mushroom.
