Clitocybe phaeophthalma (Pers.) Kuyper, syn.: Agaricus fritilliformis Lasch, Agaricus phaeophthalmus Pers., Clitocybe fritilliformis (Lasch) Gillet, Singerocybe phaeophthalma (Pers.) Harmaja, Clitocybe hydrogramma (Bull. & A.Venturi) P.Kumm.Family: TricholomataceaeEN: Chicken Run Funnel, DE: Ranziger Trichterling, Bitterliche TrichterlingSlo.: vodenasta livkaDat.: Oct. 3. 2019Lat.: 46.359475 Long.: 13.704377Code: Bot_1260/2019_DSC8137Habitat: Predominantly Fagus sylvatica forest with some Picea abies and Ostrya carpinifolia; moderately inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground covered by leaf litter; fairly dry place; in shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 555 m (1.829 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: Fagus sylvatica leaf litter on ground.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, near farm house Skokar, Trenta 2, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Clitocybe phaeophthalma is quite a common mushroom in Slovenia. It is poisonous since it contains muscarin. Quite interesting is its smell. My impression was: distinct, hard to say on what, but not unpleasant. This contradicts to most descriptions found in literature available to me. While its taste is described quite consistently as unpleasant and bitter (such was also my observation), the descriptions of its smell vary wildly. In the literature one can find following statements: unpleasant, on chicken run, on wet chicken, on chicken house, on roses, on honey, sweet-rancid, strongly sourish, stale Apparently all other traits of this find fit well to the descriptions of this species.Growing scattered, more than 10 pilei on a few square meters of forest ground; pilei diameter 3 6 cm, stipe length 3 5 cm, stipe diameter 4 8.5 mm, hollow, fibrous; taste unpleasant, bitter; smell distinct, hard to say on what, not unpleasant; a lot of mycelium at the base of the stipe among rotten leaves; SP white, oac900.Spores smooth. Dimensions: (5.4) 5.5 - 6.7 (7.1) (3.5) 3.7 - 4.5 (4.7) m; Q = (1.2) 1.3 - 1.6 (1.8); N = 30; Me = 6.2 4.2 m; Qe = 1.5.

(several trees growing in the vicinity).Place: Bovec basin, Humi hill, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: Growing solitary (probably a single mycelium), however in three groups of pilei on the same tree; they were about 1 m (3 feet) apart, the largest group about 40 cm (16 inch) in diameter; taste strong, mushroomy, unpleasant; smell slightly unpleasant, indistinctive; flesh strongly fibrous; SP whitish; pore surface bruising when handled, first ochre, then brown, then blackish, but not fast, the process takes several ten minutes.Spores smooth. Dimensions: 5.7 (SD= 0.3) x 4.8 (SD= 0.2) , Q= 1.2 (SD= 0.06), n= 30.

Steccherinum subcrinale (Peck) Ryvarden, Synonymy: Hydnum subcrinale Peck, Irpex subcrinalis (Peck) Saaren. & Kotir., Mycoleptodon kavinae Pilt, Bull.

Christ..(unnamed species of) 'Hedgehog stool', DE: Ockerbrauner Resupinat-Stacheling, Ockerbrauner Resupinatstacheling, Ellipsoidsporiger Schnallenloser ResupinatstachelingSlo.: vrsta bodikaDate: July 27. 2010Lat.: 45.71421 Long.: 14.39441Code: Bot_436/2010_DSC3359Habitat: Old, mixed wood, Picea abies dominant; locally almost flat terrain, calcareous ground; in shade, fairly humid place; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations 1.600-1.800 mm/year, average temperature 8-9 deg C, elevation 740 m (2.450 feet), Dinaric phytogeographical region.Substratum: on wood of a tree stump covered by mosses; in the final stage of disintegration; species undetermined but probably Picea abies or Abies alba. Place: North of Cerknica lake; SE of village Laze pri Gornjem jezeru; between hills marni gri, 768 m and Sovinek, 780 m, Notranjska, Slovenia EC. Comments: Steccherinum subcrinale is a loosely attached to its substratum, resupinate, effused teeth fungus. It can be distinguished from other Steccherinum species (in my region Steccherinum ochraceum and Steccherinum fimbriatum) by short, from (0.2)0.3 to 0.5(0.6) mm long cylindrical aculei (spines or teeth). Alternative species have pointed, conical (and mostly larger) 'spines'. The same seems true for similar species of genus Irpex. Steccherinum subcrinale also never forms shelf-like, small pilei but remains strictly resupinate.Steccherinum subcrinale is a rare species everywhere in Europe and denoted 'extremely rare' in Germany (Krieglsteiner 2000), Italy (Bernicchia 2010) and north Europe (Eriksson et al 1984). It is listed neither in Poler ed. 1998 nor in Ogris 2008 for Slovenia. Unfortunately, at the time I photographed this observation I was unaware what it might be and I didn't take samples to do microscopy and make exsiccate. Hence the determination remains uncertain although macroscopic traits from photos seem to fit quite good.Ref.: (1) G.J.
