  • notes   Slo.: rjavordeča žveplenjača, opečnatordeča žveplenjača - syn. Hypholoma sublateritium (Fr.) Quelet, Psilocybe lateritia (Schff.: Fr.) Noord. - Habitat: grassland; almost flat terrain; cretaceous clastic rock (flysh) ground, dry sunny place; under the canopy of Fagus sylvatica; partly protected from direct rain by the canopy; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 480 m (1.570 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: small rotten (in its final stage of disintegration) stump of probably Fagus sylvatica or Ostrya carpinifolia. - Comments: These mushrooms always attract me by their beauty. They are common here around. Usually they grow in large groups, but this time only three quite young fruit bodies were displayed. Gils were still bright, later, in my refrigerator, they turned much darker – brown with slight violet tint. - Pileus diameter of the largest fruit body was 5.8 cm and its thickness 16 mm; stipe 10 cm long and up to 14 mm in diameter; smell indistinctive, taste unpleasant, somewhat biter; SP gray-brown with a violet tint, oac525. - Spores smooth.
