The Perfumed Trichterling ( Clitocybe amoenolens ) is a poisonous mushroom from the family of Tricholoma relatives.

Features

The first hat is light brown and dome- shaped, later fading to white, funnel-shaped fruiting bodies in the adult; especially in young specimens of the edge is incurved rim- like. The stem, always without a ring and bulb is light brown to white, the lolly far run-down, tight and narrow strips change color from white ( when young mushroom) by the deposited spores to light brown. Clitocybe amoenolens usually occurs in small groups and smells strikingly floral or fruity.

Artabgrenzung

The fungus can be confused with brown Trichterling species with the edible foxy Rötelritterling ( Lepista inversa ) and. From this it differs by its eponymous, pleasant scent of jasmine or overripe pears, from the Rötelritterlingen further by the absence of the characteristic warty spores and the white (not reddish ) mycelium.

Dissemination

The occurrence of this fungus is vouched for France, Morocco and northern Italy. Also for Germany can not be excluded stocks.

Toxicology

Due to the content of Acromelsäure the consumption of the fungus can lead to a very painful when picking up larger amounts even life-threatening poisoning with characteristic discomfort and redness in the extremities. This is often not seen by the long latency period ( between one day and one week) causally related to the mushroom meal.

History

First suspicion of the toxicity of the Fragrant funnel -form already existed in 1979, but he was identified as the cause in 1996 after several poisonings in Italy and proof of Acromelsäuregehalts. In contrast, the related bamboo Trichterling ( Clitocybe acromelalga ) was known to cause poisoning of identical images in Korea and Japan in 1918.
