location
Lower Trenta valley, left bank of river Soča, somewhat downstream from farmhouse Maselc, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: uhati drhtavež, donk, uhelj - syn.: Guepinia rufa (Jacq.) Beck, Phlogiotis helvelloides (DC.) G.W. Martin, Tremella helvelloides DC., Tremiscus helvelloides (DC.) Donk - Habitat: River bank, wood edge, Picea abies dominant, next to a trail, almost flat terrain, quite-open place, partly sunny, air and ground humid place; calcareous, alluvial, sandy ground; exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 565 m (1.850 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil, possibly buried wood in the last phase of disintegration. Comments: Guepinia helvelloides is not a rare find in Trenta valley. However, this time the find was extremely large, exceeding in size all data in literature I am aware off. Usually the sporocarps are about 5-6 cm tall. Interestingly, also spore width does not fit into expected limits. Spores are significantly larger, so one could suspect a wrong determination of the find. However, to my knowledge, there is nothing similar to this mushroom growing in Slovenia. Growing solitary, two pilei fuzzed at the base; dimensions of the larger 11.5 x 10 cm across and 10.5 cm tall; stipe rudimentary, about 2 cm long and 1.5 cm in diameter, partly hollow; taste mild pleasant, mushroomy; smell indistinctive, on moss(?), SP white, oac909. Spores minutely warty. Dimensions: 9.6 [10.8 ; 11.2] 12.4 x 6.1 [7 ; 7.3] 8.2 microns; Q = 1.3 [1.5 ; 1.6] 1.8; N = 38; C = 95%; Me = 11 x 7.1 microns ; Qe = 1.6.
