location
Lower Trenta valley, lower Trenta village, just above the beginningof alpine trail to Planina Lepoč, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: polobla kosmatinka - syn.: Peziza hemisphaerica F.H.Wigg. - Habitat: locally north oriented mountain slope, mixed wood, locally Picea abies dominant, calcareous ground, among needles and leaf litter, ground without greenery; full shade, humid place; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevation 800 m (2.625 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: forest soil under Picea abies canopies. - Comments: Habitat and habitus of these cup fungi fit very well to Humaria hemisphaerica. Also spore shape, surface and gutules do so. The species is a common one. At least in my literature I can't find an acceptable alternative determination. However, spore and asci dimensions do not correspond to data from literature. I don't know whether the differences observed are acceptable (data from literature have quite large scatter too) or this find represents another, probably rarer and seldom described species. - Growing in a few groups of more than 30 fruit bodies in an area of about 2 x 2 m; apparently associated whit Lycoperdon perlatum. Some cups seemed as attached to this fungus (see Fig.3) and I didn't find a single cup more than a quarter of meter away of more than ten fruitbodies of Lycoperdon. Pilei diameter 8 - 22 mm, like translucent, pearly inside; taste and smell indistinctive; SP too faint to allow color determination. - Spores warty with two large gutules each. Spore dimensions: 25.4 [27.1 ; 27.8] 29.6 x 13.8 [14.5 ; 14.8] 15.5 μ, Q = 1.7 [1.8 ; 1.9] 2; N = 37 ; C = 95%, Me = 27.5 x 14.7 μ; Qe = 1.9. Asci dimensions: 205.4 [231.4 ; 244.8] 270.8 x 13 [15.4 ; 16.6] 19 μ, Q = 12.9 [14.5 ; 15.4] 17; N = 24; C = 95%, Me = 238.1 x 16 μ; Qe = 14.9. Hairs septated. Dimensions: 339 [505 ; 621] 787 x 13 [15.2 ; 16.8] 19 μ, Q = 20.1 [31.6 ; 39.6] 51.1; N = 15; C = 95%, Me = 563.5 x 16 μ; Qe = 35.6.
