Gyro Drüsling ( Exidia Recisa )

The gyro - Drüsling ( Exidia Recisa ) is a species of fungus in the family of the Tremellomycetes ear lobe fungal relatives ( Auriculariaceae ). Its yellow- brown to black, wavy - conical fruiting bodies grow in small groups. They appear throughout the year, especially in late winter on rotten dead wood of Sal - willow (Salix caprea ) and other deciduous trees. The species is widespread throughout the meridional to subborealen Holarctic.

Features

Macroscopic characteristics

The gyro - Drüsling forms gelatinous, capitate - stalked fruiting bodies first. Later they are centrifugal or slightly cup-shaped, when the stem is conical, and the hymenium in the top flat. The subtly shimmering Basidiocarpien be approximately 2.5 inches high and wide. They are initially brownish yellow, but may be due to leaching brighter and by drying darker ( brown to black ). The edge of the top is slightly crenate, she is initially smooth, later wrinkled.

Microscopic characteristics

The Hyphenstruktur the gyro Drüslings is monomitisch as with all Drüslingen, ie consists only of generative hyphae. They are cylindrical, hyaline and inamyloid.

Dissemination

The gyro - Drüsling inhabited a holarktisches Artareal, ranging from France and Britain to Mexico. The species prefers submeridionale and moderate to subboreale climates.

Ecology

Like other Drüslinge is the gyro Drüsling a Saprobiont. He settled dead wood of deciduous trees, especially Sal - willow (Salix caprea ). The fruiting takes place throughout the year, particularly in late winter in cool, damp weather after rainfall.
