  • latitude 46.35840   longitude 13.69913     View on Google Maps.
  • location   Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soča and Trenta; right bank of river Soča, near the cottage Trenta 2b; East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)
  • notes   Ssyn.: Dasyscyphus occidentalis G.G. Hahn & Ayers, Dasyscyphus willkommii var. hahnianus (Seaver) Robak, Lachnella hahniana Seaver, Lachnellula hahniana (Seaver) Dennis, Trichoscyphella hahniana (Seaver) Manner - Habitat: abandoned pasture with some scattered trees and bushes; slightly inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; calcareous, skeletal ground; sunny, relatively dry and warm place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 600 m (1.970 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: thin, dead, fallen of branch of a Larix decidua tree; planted about 40 years ago. - Comments: No microscopy has been done on these specimens, therefore the determination is not reliable. There exist several similar species of the genus Lachnellula. This find can easily be very similar Lachnellula willkommii. Both species (some people suspect that both are actually the same species) are widespread and among the most common in the genus. - The pictures show the fungi in a relatively dry state. Therefore, the fruit bodies look mainly as a small, white, wooly tufts. In humid conditions they 'open' and show their bright yellow-orange hymenium. Also it appears that not all fruit bodies are fully developed. May be due to quite cold weather at the time of observation, although Lachnellula species are known to be fairly resistant to cold and dryness. - Ref.: (1) http://www.natur-in-nrw.de/HTML/Pilze/Ascomycota/PAS-175.html (2) J.
