Trametes versicolor (L.) PilatTurkey Tail, DE: Schmetterlings-TrameteSlo.: pisana ploskocevkaDat.: Feb. 11. 2016Lat.: 46.36179 Long.: 13.704983Code: Bot_933/2016_DSC0355Habitat: Young, mixed forest and bushes, Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies, Ailanthus altissima, Fraxinus ornus, Ostrya carpinifolia, Corylus avellana dominant; overgrown former pasture; slightly inclined mountain slope, south aspect; shallow, skeletal, calcareous ground; relatively warm place; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 610 m (2.000 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: dead, still standing Fagus sylvatica trunkPlace: Lower Trenta valley, upper part of pastures belonging to the abandoned farm house Koc, Trenta 3, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: Trametes versicolor is a very common species. Several authors consider it as the most frequent decomposer of wood of deciduous trees. It almost always appears in large, sometimes very beautifully colored, colonies. But it is also a very variable species, particularly in colors of distinctly zonate pilei. Because of that confusion with other species of genus Trametes is quite possible. The best distinguishing traits of Trametes versicolor for me are very small pores (up to 5/mm) and a distinctive, but very thin dark brown line between context and tomentum in cross-section. But one should cut pilei with a very sharp knife, or better with a razor blade. In this way the line remains undamaged and clearly visible. Growing in a group of several hundreds of pilei; pilei dimensions up to 4.6 x 2.9 cm and up to 6(8) mm thick, pore layer 1.5(2.5) mm thick; taste distinct, unpleasant, on rotten something?; smell mild, mushroomy; pore density 43/cm (SD=5.3, n=8), SP whitish-beige, oac 851.Spores smooth.

Lycoperdon pyriforme Schff.:Pers.Stump Puffball, DE: Birnen-StublingSlo.: hrukasta pranicaDat.: Oct. 6. 2010Lat.: 46.33524 Long.: 13.49631Code: Bot_465/2010_IMG2775Habitat: mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus Sylvatica dominant trees; moderately inclined mountain slope, south aspect; calcareous ground; in shade, relatively warm place; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-7 deg C, elevation 1.000 m (3.300 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: short, highly disintegrated and moss overgrown log of Picea abies lying on ground.Place: Bovec basin; south slopes of Mt. Kanin mountain group, lower Gozdec place, next to the trail to Poljanca place, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: Lycoperdon pyriforme has probably the most beautiful form of all our puffballs. It is a rather common species, which often grows in large tufted groups. It has almost global distribution (not present in Africa). In Himalaya it climbs up to 4.000 m elevation (Ref.:3). It is easy recognized by its typical form and the fact that it grows on rotten wood of conifers and broadleaved trees contrary to other puffballs, which grow on soil. Frequently the wood is almost totally decomposed or partly buried in ground, so it superficially appears that the mushrooms grow on soil. Further, white subgleba, which remains white also in mature sporocarps, is a sure identification characteristic. Photographed sporocarps were growing in a small group of six fruit bodies.Spores smooth.
