Psathyrellaceae

Seeded Tintling ( Coprinellus disseminatus )

The fungi of the family of Mürblingsverwandten ( Psathyrellaceae ) have a rather delicate, fragile fruiting bodies. A characteristic feature of some species is the rapid deliquescence of the fruiting bodies in the spores mature. They are as Saprobionten often found on dung or strongly manured soil and no mycorrhizal fungi.

Features

The hat is initially bell-shaped, the edge is never curled. The stem always sits centrally on the hat. The slats are usually free or grown and not piebald. The spores have a distinct germ pore. The spore powder is dark brown or black.

System

Originally the family Tintlingsverwandte ( Coprinaceae ) was called and contained all as Coprinus ( Coprinus sensu lato ) designated types of fungi. After DNA testing, however, revealed that Coprinus polyphyletic and must therefore be split into the genera Coprinus, Coprinellus and Coprinopsis.

Since the remaining species of Coprinus are more closely related to the mushroom relatives ( Agaricaceae ), the family lost its type genus and had to be renamed Mürblingsverwandte ( Psathyrellaceae ). Even the formerly projected to the family fertilizer Linge ( Panaeolus ) are not among them, but to the dung fungus relatives ( Bolbitiaceae ).

The following genera are part of the fiber Ling relatives:

  • Mürblinge or fiber pieces ( Psathyrella )
  • Saumpilze ( Lacrymaria )
  • Coprinellus
  • Coprinopsis
