  • notes   Slo.: obrobljena kučmica - syn.: Galerina autumnalis (Peck) A.H. Sm. & Singer, Galerina unicolor (Vahl) Singer, Pholiota marginata (Batsch) Quél. - Habitat: pasture, slightly inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; colluvial, skeletal, calcareous ground; full sun, dry and relatively warm place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 625 m (2.050 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: moss overgrown stump of a cut down Picea abies in its late phase of disintegration. Comments: This mushroom usually appears in older literature as Galerina autumnalis. But extensive DNA study (Gulden and collaborators, 2001) has synonymized that species - along with Galerina oregonensis, Galerina unicolor, and Galerina venenata - with the older, European species first described in the 18th century, Galerina marginata. The mushroom is deadly poisonous (look at English common name). Growing in a loose group of about 15 pilei; pilei diameter 1.4 - 4.0 cm (measured as it is, not expanded), surface lubricous-waxy; stipe 4.0 - 6.2 cm long, diameter 2.8 - 7.8 mm, hollow, fibrous; taste not tested, smell indistinctive, on soil? SP abundant, rusty-brown, oac713. Spores minutely verrucose. Dimensions: 7.6 [8.5 ; 8.9] 9.8 x 5 [5.5 ; 5.7] 6.2 microns; Q = 1.4 [1.5 ; 1.6] 1.7; N = 40; C = 95%; Me = 8.7 x 5.6 microns; Qe = 1.5. Basidia 4-sterigmate and also 2-sterigmate. Cystidia lageniform, with a long neck and a rounded or subclavate apex; smooth; thin-walled; dimensions: 38.4 [44.5 ; 48.1] 54.1 x 8.5 [10.1 ; 11] 12.5 microns; Q = 3.4 [4.2 ; 4.7] 5.5; N = 19; C = 95%; Me = 46.3 x 10.5 microns; Qe = 4.4.
