Lichenomphalia
Heath Flechtennabeling ( Lichenomphalia umbellifera )
The lichens Abel Inge ( Lichenomphalia ) are a fungal genus in the family Schneck Ling relatives whose species are obligately associated with green algae, lichen and live as nabelingsartige form fruiting bodies.
The type species is the pale yellow Flechtennabeling ( Lichenomphalia hudsoniana ).

Features
Macroscopic characteristics
The cushion-like, slightly curved or flat spreading hat has a diameter of 3-23 (-30 ) mm. The Hutmitte is often depressed to umbilicate or deepens like a funnel. The surface of the hat is either smooth or wrinkled, dry or wet and the edge finely notched. The color spectrum ranges from white to pale to bright yellow and olive - ocher, dark red - brown to olive - brown. The run-down on the handle plates are relatively thick, often forked or cross-linked to each other and away. The colors correspond to those of the hat or are paler. The spore powder leaves a white to yellowish cast. The more or less cylindrical stem is (3 -) 10-25 (-40 ) mm long, 0.5-3 mm thick, the stem bark smooth or frosted, dry and dull. Both the taste and the smell are nonspecific.
Microscopic characteristics
The nearly spherical to cylindrical or teardrop-shaped spores are translucent ( hyaline ), have thin and smooth walls and show with the addition of Iodreagenzien no color reaction ( inamyloid ). At the spores stands ( basidia ) 2 or 4 spores mature. Both on the vane surface and the cutting blades are no Zystiden. Also on the handle missing cystidia; for some species have protruding fungal filaments ( hyphae ). Not occur Zystiden Also on the hat. The Hutdeckschicht ( Pileipellis ) is a cutis of procumbent hyphae, rarely with transitions to a Trichoderma. Throughout the fruiting body, the cross walls of the hyphae ( septa ) are schnallenlos.
Ecology and phenology
Lichens Abel rings are only able to survive along with algae. They form with Coccomyces types of lichen and either own a small -grained, green bearings ( thallus ) of Botrydina - type or scale-like Coriscium thallus of small, shell-shaped and pale green, weißrandigen elements. Lichenomphalia species colonize bare mineral soil as boggy or peaty ground, even grow in the midst of peat moss and are commonly found in the alpine altitude level.
The fruiting bodies appear in the spring to autumn.
Species
For Europe, 7 taxa are known or expected.
