Spitzgebuckelter Raukopf ( Cortinarius rubellus )

The Spitzgebuckelte Raukopf or Spitzbuckelige Orange Veil Ling ( Cortinarius rubellus, C. Syn speciosissimus ) is a species of fungus in the family veil Ling relatives ( Cortinariaceae ). Within the genus it is assigned to the subgenus Rauköpfe ( Leprocybe ). The stalked, joyful rost-/fuchsfarbenen fruiting bodies often have a hat with a pointed hump and sometimes a yellowish banded stem. The agaric grows in spruce forests on acidic, moist and like peat moss covered with soil. It contains the toxin Orellanine and causes when consumed untreated, a fatal kidney failure.

Features

Macroscopic characteristics

The hat is rust - colored to zimtorange or foxy and reached a diameter of three to eight centimeters. He is dünnfleischig, obtuse to acute hunched and has a finely tomentose - fibrous surface. The remotely located, bulged grown lamellae have a zimtorangenen to reddish brownish tone. They are grown on a stick and a little wider than the Cap flesh. The slender club-shaped, dry stalk reaches a length of eight and a width of 1.5 centimeters. He is often (especially young) with several golden Velumgürteln provided or genattert. The flesh is yellowish to orange saffron-colored, rust- brown in the lower part of the stem and has a mild to radish -like taste.

Microscopic characteristics

The rust-colored spores are feinwarzig and have a size of 8.5-11.5 × 6.5-9 microns.

Artabgrenzung

Possibility of confusion exists with the rare Rhabarberfüßigen Raukopf ( Cortinarius callisteus ), which has an oily- sticky smell (after " locomotives "). Similar is also the Canary Raukopf ( Cortinarius limonius ), which grows as the Rhabarberfüßige in the coniferous forest and is non-toxic suspicious. The Orangefuchsige veil Modeling is distinguished by a lighter, rust- yellow, not genatterten stem. Also, this is only found in the deciduous forest. Confusion with edible fungi exist under certain circumstances with young chanterelles.

Ecology and distribution

The Spitzgebuckelte Raukopf preferably acidic, moist and swampy, covered with peat moss, soil. So it is between August and October in the coniferous forest, especially under spruce, fir and spruce found in pine mixed forest. With the conifers he enters into a mycorrhiza. In southern Germany, especially in the Black Forest, in Austria and Switzerland, the fungus is not uncommon.

Toxicology

The Spitzgebuckelte Raukopf is one of the most toxic fungi occurring in Central Europe. He is closely related to the equally deadly poisonous Orangefuchsigen Raukopf. Both contain appreciable amounts Orellanine the poison that leads to a particularly slow and painful poisoning with the typical Orellanus syndrome. At its end there is a fatal renal failure in many cases.
