Features
Macroscopic characteristics
The cap is initially convex, flattened later, but can sometimes be slightly hunched. He is pale yellow, sometimes yellow-brown. The center is foxy reddish colored to foxy - brown. The surface is smooth. The hat reached a diameter of between two and eight, sometimes ten centimeters. On the side are the thin, ephemeral veil remnants. They are only white, later dark brown in color. The brim is ungerieft.
The slats are only pale, ashen and then dyed gray violet in old age; green shades are missing. They are attached to grown on a stick, are almost suppressed and are interspersed with shorter intermediate fins.
The stem is whitish or pale yellowish in color in the upper part downwards the color turns into yellow brown to reddish brown. He is five to eight inches long and three to seven, or even up to 15 millimeters wide. The stem is hollow and hidden more or less because of the tufted growth. In young fruit bodies can be caused by Velumreste an indicated annular zone.
The thin flesh is soft, whitish and has a pleasant smell. It tastes mild and not bitter. The spore powder is brown.
Microscopic characteristics
The spores are oblong - ellipsoid, and measure 7-9 × 4-5 micrometers. They are thick-walled and have a smooth surface. They have a distinct germ pore. Chrysozystiden are Hymenium frequently. They are just more or less bottle-shaped.
Artabgrenzung
Similarity have more sulfur heads ( Hypholoma ), especially the Green leafy (H. faciculare ) and the brick Red Schwefelkopf (H. lateritium ). The former has greenish tones in the slats and tastes bitter. Sterile fruit bodies of this type have bright yellow fins, while they are almost colorless when Graublättrigen sulfur head. The Brick-red sulfur head has intense brick-red Huttöne, is stronger in stature and also a little bitter. He also usually inhabited hardwood.
Ecology and phenology
The Graublättrige sulfur head grows in almost all forest communities, where it occurs in beech and beech-fir - spruce forests as well as in most often. He lives as Saprobiont on rotten stumps and roots; rare is the mushroom and look at past tribes. The species inhabited almost exclusively coniferous wood, especially pines, sometimes pine and white fir. They rarely grows on deciduous wood such as beech. An exception is Northern Scandinavia, where it occurs frequently also in birch.
The fruiting bodies are found in dense clusters primarily from September to November. In suitable weather they are available year round to take a little more often also around April.
Dissemination
The Graublättrige Schwefelkopf is widespread in the Holarctic. It was introduced in Venezuela by humans. The species is found in the northern hemisphere in North America (United States), Europe and North Asia (Caucasus). In Europe, the territory of Great Britain, the Benelux countries and France ranges in the west to Estonia, Belarus and Ukraine to the east and of Iceland and Fennoscandia in the north to Spain, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy and Romania in the south. In Germany the species is common.
Importance
The Graublättrige sulfur head is edible.
