The Long-stemmed fragrance Trichterling ( Clitocybe fragrans, Syn Clitocybe suaveolens ) is a species of fungus in the family of Tricholoma relatives. It is a small, beige - gray to whitish Trichterling which has a distinct licorice aroma. The fruiting bodies appear from September to November in coniferous and deciduous mixed forests. The toxic Trichterling is also called White anise or Dunkelscheibiger fragrance Trichterling.

Features

Macroscopic characteristics

The cap is 1-5 cm broad, at first convex, but soon spread out flat and then up umbilicated depressed and at the edge bent often wavy. The smooth surface is hygrophanous and has in moisture a greasy shine. It is then dyed beige - gray and the brim is significantly grooved translucent. The genabelte Hutmitte is usually darker in color than the edge. When dry, the hat is cream to almost white.

The pretty crowded lamella are wide grown on a stick or run something down because they are pale beige to cream colored and have smooth edges. The spore powder is white.

The cylindrical stem is up to 5 cm long, somewhat cartilaginous, and more or less like the hat colored. At the age he is hollow. The stem base is adherent whitish tomentose and with the substrate. The thin flesh is hygrophanous and whitish. It smells distinctly of anise and tastes mild. Sometimes it has a sweet component.

Microscopic characteristics

The smooth, hyaline and inamyloiden spores are elliptical to oval and 6-9 microns long and 3-5 microns wide.

Artabgrenzung

There are numerous similar gray-white to gray-brown funnel pieces with hygrophanen hats that are difficult to distinguish. Also, the edible green anise Trichterling ( Clitocybe odora ) may look very similar in ausgeblassten state. He has a vigorous habit and a ungenabelten hat. He also smells most intense anise.

From similar brightly colored funnel Lingen, the long stems of anise Trichterling distinguished by its licorice aroma. Some authors separate the fragrance Trichterling ( Clitocybe suaveolens ) also available as a separate species. However, so far no real differences were identified that would justify this. The growing in coniferous forest Rasige anise Trichterling ( Clitocybe obsoleta ) can be recognized by its larger spores.

Ecology

The fruiting bodies of the Long-handled anise - funnel -form appear individually or sociable from September to November in coniferous, deciduous and mixed deciduous forests. They are often found in grassy woodland sites.

Dissemination

The fungus is found in North America (Canada, USA ), Asia ( Japan, North Korea, South Korea), New Zealand and Europe. Also in North Africa (Morocco ), he was detected.

In North, West and Central Europe it is almost everywhere quite frequently. In Norway, its range extends up to 69, in Sweden almost to 67 and in Finland up to 63 degrees latitude. In Bulgaria, the fungus occurs mainly in the mountains, in the lowlands and on the Black Sea coast it is missing. In Germany, it is widely used by the North and Baltic Seas to the Alps and often.

Importance

The long stems of anise Trichterling is toxic. In 1974 it was discovered that it contains muscarinic that acts on the nervous system. More generally, should more or less weißhütige funnel Linge not be collected to feed purposes, as many are poisonous or toxic suspicious of them and the species are difficult to distinguish.
