Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca
False Chanterelle ( Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca )
The False Chanterelle ( Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca ) is a stand fungus, is, despite its lamellar Hutunterseite to the order of Dickröhrlingsartigen. It received its name because of its similarity to the authentic Chanterelle. Due to the orange-yellow color and strongly bifurcated blades of the fungus is also known as Orange Yellow Gabelblättling. Other names are Orange Brown or Common After Leist Ling. While " orange brown " also refers to the color spectrum of the fruiting body, is " common," " ordinary, normal" used to mean, because the False Chanterelle is the most common type of its kind. The word element "after " is derived from a root meaning " according to; behind; according to the " off and " Power Ling " similarly describes the manner of a strip pronounced hymenophore young fruiting bodies the true chanterelles.

Features
Macroscopic characteristics
The 2-7 (-10 ) cm wide hat has a young, cushion-like, soon verflachende form. Most recently, he is flat deepened to umbilicate. Striking is the long curled brim. The color spectrum ranges from pale yellow to bright orange, the age of the fruiting body is dirty spots and can in the middle of longer appear olivbräunlich. The finish is dry and long feinfilzig, rarely even fine scales. The slats are close together, are forked multiple times and run far down on the stem. Young they are plump, thin -edged later. In contrast to the strips of chanterelles they can be easily removed from the Cap flesh. The fins are yellow, orange to brick red in color. The spore powder is white. The 3-7 cm long and 3-8 mm thick stem is fleshy and often slightly eccentric. He has about the same color as the hat. The yellowish-white flesh is anemic and has an approximately cottony - elastic consistency. It smells and tastes normal, sometimes slightly bitter to schärflich.
Microscopic characteristics
The elliptical, colorless and smooth-walled spores have no germ pore. They can be stained with iodine solution ( dextrinoid ) and cotton blue ( cyanophil ). Their dimensions are 5-7.5 (-8) × 2.5-5 microns. Cystidia not occur. The transverse walls of fungal hyphae have buckles.
Artabgrenzung
The False Chanterelle can see real chanterelles such as the Real Chanterelle and in particular the more orange tinted Velvet Chanterelle similar. However, both species have a firmer flesh that smells yellow plums or apricots like and quickly peppery taste when chewed. Unlike the slats of the after Leist -form, however, the bars of the doppelganger can not be detached from the Cap flesh.
Another possibility of confusion is the ocher brown Trichterling ( Infundibulicybe gibba ), but the lighter colors and white lamellae has - see also the shape of the false chanterelle albida with equally white-colored slats.
Even the venomous Dark Olive Trichterling ( Omphalotus olearius ) and the Orange Tree Oil Trichterling (O. illudens ) can be confused with the false chanterelle. The mushroom is rarely found in central Europe but because he prefers warmer regions. There he affects olive trees, sometimes oaks and sweet chestnuts.
Ecology
The False Chanterelle is mainly in coniferous forests and heaths, are rarely found in pure deciduous forests on nutrient- poor, acidic, or at least on the surface abgesauerten floors. There he grows sociable, even in fairy rings in the litter, between twigs to the anthill and even signs of burning. Sometimes sprout fruiting bodies directly from softwood stumps, wood residues or buried cones. Ludwig Erhard mentioned in his mushroom compendium a Fund from southern Sweden on a Ostseesanddüne between beach grass. The False Chanterelle fruktifiziert August to December, especially after dry summers.
Importance
The False Chanterelle applies universally considered edible, but not recommended as edible mushroom, because it has an inferior taste value. He also is enjoyed by many people in large dimensions not tolerated. For those affected it causes gastrointestinal discomfort, but their intensity mainly weak fails.
System
Varieties and forms
In the literature there are several varieties, the value of which, however, is controversial. A variety is attributed to site- related forms. Below is a selection:
- H. aurantiaca f albida Gillet
Differs from the Typusvarietät only by the white slats. The pore size is identical.
- H. aurantiaca var atrotomentosa Jaccottet
The very vigorous fruiting bodies reach a cap diameter of up to 10 cm, have a dark brown colored hat and stick and tired of orange red fins. The Hutdeckschicht is structured shaggy.
- H. aurantiaca var lactea ( Quélet ) Rea
The fruiting bodies are white all over.
- H. aurantiaca f nigripes trough
Corresponds to the slowly blackening stem base of Typusvarietät.
- Brauner After Leist Ling - H. aurantiaca var rufa DA Reid
Has more brown hat and stick colors and smaller spores than the Typusvarietät.
