Bar Blättling ( Gloeophyllum trabeum )

The bar - Blättling ( trabeum Gloeophyllum, syn. Trametes trabea and Lenzites trabea ) is a species of fungus in the family Blättlingsverwandte ( Gloeophyllaceae ).

Features

The beam - forming Blättling consoles, fan - shaped or semicircular fruiting bodies, which are zoned on the upper surface uneven, nodular to wavy. The cinnamon to ocher brown fruiting bodies are finely hairy on the upper side - tomentose young, but verkahlen later. The irregular wavy to serrated, sharp edge is lighter gray to brownish in younger specimens. The underside is a light - brown to ocher, labyrinthine hymenophore.

Artabgrenzung

The bar - Blättling from similar species Fence Blättling and fir Blättling different, both have a lamellige bottom.

Ecology

The bar - Blättling is a populated holzbewohnender Saprobiont, the mainly coniferous wood, especially pine. He rarely grows on deciduous wood. The fungus causes the infested wood intensive brown rot. The species grows on dead, debarked wood, which is especially sun- and wind- exposed and is very hot in summer and dry. Outside of the forest he comes, like the fence Blättling, lying in a long time, summer dry timber before and as this be insensitive socialized together against summer drought of the substrate, both types can.

Dissemination

The bar - Blättling occurs in Mediterranean to temperate climates and is apparently rare in Europe from the south to the north, in the northern part of its range it is only occasionally encountered within houses. In Germany, the fungus is found widely scattered.

Importance

The bar - Blättling may cause similar damage to wooden constructions such as the fence Blättling, however, is by its lower incidence of less importance than this.
