Features

The cap is initially convex, later expanded and thoroughly depressed slightly toward the center. He reached diameter between 3 and 10 centimeters, the deductible hat skin is more or less strong cherry and usually sticky shiny. The brim is serrated short and often indistinct.

The close-set and white lamellae are grown bulged. The colorless spores are round and oval with coarse spiny to warty surface. You do not have a germ pore, the acute Hilarappendix is wrong and small. The spore powder is white.

The soft, white-colored handle is 5 to 10 inches long and up to 2 inches thick, it has a club-like shape. The flesh is white, porous and tastes burning sharp. The smell is fruity.

Artabgrenzung

Confusion may arise particularly with other rothütigen Täublingen as the apple Täubling, where appropriate, with the meat Red dining Täubling. A likewise similar and closely related species of cherry red storage Täublings is the high-altitude memory Russula ( Russula nana ).

Toxicology

The Cherry Red Russula memory is generally considered raw poisonous mushroom, the toxins will be destroyed by cooking. From his consumption but is not recommended. Responsible for the effect are resinous ingredients, which can cause severe gastrointestinal complaints especially in sensitive individuals (see Gastrointestinal syndrome). Within an hour after eating the fungus abdominal pain, vomiting diarrhea and in extreme cases, convulsions and coma may occur. Since no specific antidote exists, can only be treated symptomatically. In addition, activated charcoal can be given to bind the toxins from the intestines.

Ecology

The fruiting bodies appear in the summer to late autumn. The Cherry Red storage Täubling is a mycorrhizal fungus, living together in the first place with various conifers, especially spruces and pines. Since the kind, however, found in many varieties, they settled quite other forest types, so you can observe some forms also under beeches and birches. Other habitats are bogs where they are usually in peat moss under conifers. The mycelium grows mainly in acidic and wet soil.

Dissemination

The Cherry Red Russula memory is distributed almost worldwide. Even if he is a predominantly Holarctic type, he was also in Australia and in South America ( Colombia [ var lacustris Singer ] ) have been found. In the northern hemisphere it is in North and Central America (Canada, USA, Mexico and Costa Rica), in Northern Asia ( the Caucasus, Siberia, Russia and the Far East, Japan, North and South Korea), North Africa and almost all of Europe. As a meridional to boreal Täubling it is found in the south of Spain to Romania, in Western Europe from France to the Benelux countries to Great Britain, in all of Central Europe and Fennoscandia. In Norway, the range extends to the North Cape and in Sweden to Lapland.

In Germany the nature of the coast is widespread patchy up in the Northern Alps in, regionally but sometimes quite often.

System

Infra Generic Systematics

The Cherry Red Russula memory is the type kind of sub-section Emeticinae ( Syn: Under section Russula ) and at the same time the model type of the genus russulas. The lower section contains small to medium sized, fragile species with red or pink hats and white spore powder. The russulas taste very sharp and have a pleasant, usually fruity smell.
