notes Slo.: oranžni lesožer - syn.: Merulius aurantiacus Peck, Merulius molluscus Fr., Serpula mollusca (Fr.) P. Karst., Sesia mollusca (Fr.) Kuntze, Xylomyzon molluscum (Fr.) Pers. - Habitat: outside, north side of a cottage; open fire-wood storage place; slightly inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground; in shade, protected from direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 600 m (xxx feet), alpine phytogeographical region (M. Wraber, 1969). - Substratum: bark of Ostrya carpinifolia firewood, lying on ground. - Comments (pertain to pictures in the Flicks album Leucogyrophana mollusca): Few fungi have such a vivid color like Leucogyrophana mollusca. May be Terana coerulea can be compared regarding blue color, or Cortinarius violaceus/hercynicus in its best shape regarding dark violet, or Bisporella citrina. It is small, but it can make a whole few meters long log fascinating vividly yellow. This colors do not fall behind colors of flowering plants. Fungi are very far from being boringly gray-brown creatures. - Leucogyrophana mollusca is a corticoid fungus. It grows almost always resupinate. Only sometimes it is effuse-reflexed and forms a kind of small pilei. When it is in its typical form of vividly orange labyrinthine hymenium abundantly surrounded by white mycelia it is easy to recognized. - Growing in a few patches, the largest 12 x 3.5 cm; about 1 mm thick, easy to peel off substratum; taste and smell indistinctive, SP yellowish-ocher. Spores smooth. Hypha monomythic, septa with clamps, some also without. Spore dimensions: (5,4) 5,8 - 6,8 (7,3) × (3,7) 3,9 - 4,5 (4,9) µm; Q = (1,2) 1,4 - 1,6 (1,7); N = 35; Me = 6,3 × 4,2 µm; Qe = 1,5; Olympus CH20, NEA 100x/1.25, magnification 1.000 x, oil (spores); NEA 40x/0.65, magnification 400x (hypha); in water; fresh material.
