location
Bovec basin, northeast of the town; east of Plajer's rock, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: zlatolistna golobica - syn.: Agaricus aurantius With., Russula aurata Fr., Russula esculenta Pers. - Habitat: Light mixed wood (Fagus sylvatica, Corylus avellana, Fraxinus ornus, Ostrya carpinifolia, Picea abies, Pinus sp.); moderately inclined mountain slope, south aspect; partly sunny and warm place; under the canopy of a Pinus sp. tree; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground, partly protected from direct precipitations; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 600 m (1.970 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: forest ground locally covered by Pinus sp. needles. - Comments: Russula aurea is a widespread but not common brittlegill, having a vividly colored and beautiful sporocarps. The name Russula means red or reddish. This is because many of the huge number of species in this genus have red cups. It is typical for this species to show a mixture of yellow, orange and red tints. It is a mild-tasting and edible mushroom, but it is unusual to find them in a sufficient number to justify collecting. It grows mainly under hardwood trees, particularly under beech (Fagus sylvatica), but also under conifers (Ref.3). Two similar species which may confuse the determination, namely Russula aurantiaca and Russula laeta, have also red cups (however, without orange tint), but can be found only under hardwood trees (Ref.:5). - Ref.: (1) Personal communication (conf.) with Mr. Bojan Rot; www.gobenabovskem.si (2) J.
