Mycena crocata

Yellow Orange Milk Ender Mycena ( Mycena crocata )

The yellow-orange milk end Mycena ( Mycena crocata ) is an inedible species of fungus in the family of Mycena relatives ( Mycenaceae ). It is colored yellow to gray- brown and is deposited in violation of an orange-yellow milk. The fruiting bodies appear from May to November in Buchenwald. The helmet Ling lives saprobiontisch on dead twigs and branches, as well as fall foliage. It is also called yellow milk Ender helmet Ling Ling or Rotmilchender helmet.

Features

Macroscopic characteristics

The hat is 1-2.5 cm wide, tapered, young, soon campanulate spread and slightly hunched. The surface is bare, moist, smooth and shiny, silky dry - matt and about striate to the middle. The hat is gray-yellow to gray- brown in color and often spotted orange. The apex is darker.

The slats are bulged grown on a stick. They are white and often orangefleckig, the sheaths are the same color, the spore powder is cremeweißlich.

The long, thin and stiff stalk is 4-12 cm long and 0.1-0.2 cm wide. It is cylindrical and hollow and the upper part yellowish to pale gray. On the downside, he is bright reddish yellow to yellowish brown. The stem base is white or gelbstriegelig and often rooted weak.

The thin, watery flesh separates in violation of immediately with plenty of saffron milk. The helmet Ling has no noticeable odor and a mild, unobtrusive flavor.

Microscopic characteristics

The elliptical, smooth, amyloid spores are 7-11 microns long and 4-6 microns wide. The cystidia are clavate and brush -like.

Ecology

The yellow-orange milk end helmet Ling is a characteristic species of beech trees and deciduous forests ( broadleaved Acerion pseudoplatani ). In Luzulo beech forest the species occurs rarely and only in base and richer in Orchid Buchenwald only in wetter training. Only occasionally it occurs together with beech in chickweed - oak-hornbeam forests and riparian hardwood. The Saprobiont grows solitary to gregarious, sometimes even almost grassy on lying, sometimes buried, rotten trunks, branches, twigs and leaves. It prefers humid locations and likes to sickerfeuchte fresh, neutral to alkaline, moderately to highly base-and nutrient-containing, but not too sticktoffreiche, loose - humus soils over limestone, basalt or base-rich plutonic rocks. The helmet Ling grows almost exclusively on European beech, rarely on other deciduous trees such as ash, willow or oak trees. The fruiting bodies appear from August to November, rarely even earlier.

Dissemination

The yellow-orange milk end helmet Ling was detected in Asia (Caucasus, Japan, South Korea), North America (USA rare), South America, North Africa ( Algeria) and Europe.

In the Holarctic he is meridionally to temperat and oceanic spreading to sub-oceanic. The distribution is largely tied up in Europe to the European beech. In South and South-East Europe, the helmet Ling was detected in Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania and Crimea. In Greece it is fairly common in the local beech forests. In Western Europe, it has been demonstrated in France, the Benelux States and England, but he is missing on the Irish island. For that he is present in all of Central Europe and the east its range extends up to Belarus. In the north it is only common in southern Scandinavia. In Sweden, to the north does not exceed the 59 ° latitude.

Importance

Due to its small dünnfleischigen fruiting bodies of Mycena does not matter as edible mushroom.
