Features
Macroscopic characteristics
The hat is hunched 5-8 cm wide and flat. The surface is typically two colors. The center is reddish to chestnut brown and greasy, the margin pale cream beige and close-grained. In addition, the hat brim is often adorned with silvery to pale yellowish Velumresten. Young mushrooms have a very pronounced Cortina.
The forced standing, wide slats are lighter or darker milchkaffee colors and bulged on a stick grown. The spore powder is brown.
The stalk is 5-10 cm long and 0.5-0.8 cm wide. On pale wood brown ground and stem base towards becoming progressively darker it is fuzzy felt-like by the grayish-white, wipeable Cortina. The meat is more or less the same color. It smells a bit like radish -like or fruity and tastes bitter.
Microscopic characteristics
The ovoid to ellipsoid, nearly smooth spores are 8-10 microns long and 5-6 microns wide. They are ornamented finely verrucose. The cheilocystidia are ply to clavate.
Artabgrenzung
The Dunkelscheibige Fälbling is relatively easy to recognize by its dark brown Hutmitte and pronounced velum. From related species of his kind, he is mainly separated by microscopic characteristics. Also, the carbon Schüppling ( Pholiota carbonaria ) looks very similar. It grows preferably on fire places.
Ecology and distribution
The rather frequent Dunkelscheibige Fälbling grows in the coniferous forest, especially in pine and spruce. But it also occurs in birch. In addition, you can also find it in parks under the fir trees. The fruiting bodies appear from September to November on more or less moist soils. In places it occurs in large quantities.
Importance
The Dunkelscheibige Fälbling is unpalatable because of its bitter taste.
