INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  Nov 20, 2009
  • latitude 46.34169   longitude 13.58190     View on Google Maps.
  • location   Bovec basin, foothills of Mt. Svinjak 1.965 m (6.447 feet), north of village Kal-Koritnica, East Julian Alps (Posoèje, Slovenia)
  • notes   Slo.: neznana tintnica - Habitat: Mixed forest with dominant Betula pendula and some Picea abies, flat ground, cretaceous clastic rock (flysh), in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg, elevation 560 m (1.840 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: among roots of a partly rotten stump, probably Betula pendula. - Comments: First I thought on C. micaceus. But there was not much tendency to grow in clumps, quite scattered around, no specimens with really oval shaped pileus (all too old?), too brown caps (?), a bit small spores (data differ among references), caps not striate nearly to the center (Arora, p349), cap edge apparently curls outwards when it deliquesces in contrast to C. micaceus in my precious observation (Mushroom Observer #17352). Samples I took home auto digested themselves totally into a black silhouette on the bottom of the container. - Spore print black. Spore dimensions: 7.8 (SD=0.5) x 4.8 (SD=0.3) micr, N=21. Motic B1-211A, magnification 1.000 x, oil, in water. - Ref.: M.Bon, Pareys Buch der Pilze, Kosmos (2005), p 272. R.M.Daehncke, 1200 Pilze in Farbfotos, AT Verlag (2009), p 546.
