Phleogena faginea - Buchen-Hütchenträger

No. 73 - A find from the Rhine-Main area . Very rare species
This, to my knowledge previously unknown in South Hesse Pilzchen - German Krieglsteiner are in the "Distribution maps of Great mushrooms for all Germany in 1990 only 11 references to squares - is already a special phenomenon. The only 1 - 3 mm, spherical fruiting bodies resembling tiny, stalked earthballs (eg Tulostoma) but have basidia which are divided transversely, and are therefore (for the first time) to the "Auriculariaceae. They are thus akin to the wood ears or ear lobes zoned fungus.
the early 19th Century was the way in Europe and was known as Onygena decorticata pers. Schweinitz described, a genre that now contains animal hooves and horns occurring ascomycetes (fungi Horn), whose fruiting bodies appear outwardly similar.
P. faginea likes to grow on standing beech trunks, as well as other hardwoods, and there is a predominance of tree crevices covered with hundreds of small fruiting bodies. Speaking of the existence of this type knows nothing about you can see them easily, or keep it for a slime mold (Myxomycetes).
The small thin stalks are only 2-3 mm long. The spherical part at maturity is densely filled with spores, which hold the surface. This is pale ocher-colored to light brown, kleiig-tomentose and dissolves later. The Shroom have crushed at maturity an abnormal smell of Maggi. A detailed, vivid description of the fungus are found in the Westphalian fungal letters by Hermann Jahn, which will be published for several years on the Internet: www.pilzbriefe.de / species / faginea_Phleogena.html
