Features
Macroscopic characteristics
The Rose Seitling forms tufted or imbricate of superimposed growing fruiting bodies that protrude from the bark of infested tree. The fan-shaped, convex or flat hats reach a level of 20-50 × 30-70 mm (width × length) and are pink, white or colored light gray. They have a dry surface that feels velvety or tomentose, as well as a thin, delicate mushroom meat but has a sharp, pungent odor. The hats are grown on a common, only rudimentary trained stalk, which is white in color, and a felt-like surface. The yellowish or pink fins of Rosenseitlings are decurrent, relatively wide, about 4-8 cm long and the narrowest basis. His spore print is beige. The fungus initially has a longitudinal mycelium which is covered by branched rhizomorphs and in old age is often woolly and runs above ground. The hyphae are white at first, but take on a pinkish hue.
Microscopic characteristics
The fungal spores of Rosenseitlings are smooth, cylindrical and measure 6.0-9.0 × 1.5-3.0 microns. His Trama is dimitisch, he has cheilocystidia, but not beyond pleurocystidia. The hyphae of the fungus have buckles.
Ecology
The natural substrate of the Rosenseitlings are primarily hardwoods such as palm trees, rubber trees and bamboo in the tropics and subtropics, where it is widespread. He decomposes the lignin content of the wood, thus causing white rot. He relies on relatively high temperatures of 20-30 ° C and a relative humidity of 95-100% of the substrate.
Dissemination
The Rosenseitling occurs in the tropics and subtropics of America and Asia. Its circulation area covers South and Latin America, Southeast Asia, Hawaii, Japan and the Antilles.
System
For the Rosenseitling following varieties and forms have been described:
Importance
The Rosenseitling applies with its hint of bacon or smoked ham flavor than exquisite edible mushroom and is cultivated mainly in Asia. Especially in Japan, the breeding of this fungus has a long tradition, with tree stumps and wooden beams were used as substrate. Suitable culture media include the sawdust of beech, willow, poplar, or alder.
