location
Bovec basin, southwest slope of the hill Rabeljnik, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: razbarvana grahovka - Habitat: Light, mixed, predominantly hardwood woodland with some Picea abies, moderately steep, south-west oriented hill side, cretaceous clastic rock (flysh), partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, mostly in shade, average precipitations ~3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 480 m (1.575 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: dead trunk of deciduous tree lying on ground and in its final phase of disintegration. Comment: Lycogala epidendrum is one of the most common and most easy to spot Myxomicete in the upper Soča river region. Immature aethalia are vividly orange and distinctly pop out from surrounding decaying wood. Contrary to this gray-brown mature aethalia blend well with the surrounding and require some effort to be found. Ref.: (1) B. Ing, The Myxomycetes of Britain and Ireland,The Richmond Publ.
