  • notes   Slo.: hrapavi ježevec - syn.: Hydnum scabrosum Fr., Phaeodon scabrosus (Fr.) Henn., Sarcodon scabrosus (Fr.) P. Karst. - Habitat: mixed broadleaved and conifer wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant trees, growing under Fagus; moderately inclined mountain slope, SE aspect; calcareous, colluvial ground; in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 635 m (2.080 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: forest soil. - Comments: Growing solitary; quite old pileus, pileus diameter about 14 cm; taste bitter, slightly bluish in stipe base. No microscopy done, therefore not a reliable determination. However, due to bluish tint in the stipe, this find differs from similar Sarcodon imbricatus, Sarcodon leucopus and some Bankera species (Ref.:1). - Ref.: (1) J. Breitenbach, F.
