Basidiomycete Fungi

Slo.: pegasta gostolistka - Melanoleuca polioleuca (Fr.) G. Moreno - Habitat: Mixed wood side and grassland of a golf playground; flat terrain, relatively humid but sunny place, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 370 m (1.200 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comments: There is a confusion about the names as well as spore dimension data in literature available to me. For example: Rodger mushrooms has Melanoleuca polioleuca as a synonym of Melanoleuca melaleuca. Index Fungorum as well as Slovenian checklist of fungi have both names as valid names. I keep with data in Ref.(1). - Growing solitary and in large, but sparse groups, many fruit bodies. Pileus diameter up to 9 cm (3,5 inch), up to 10 cm (4 inch) tall. Taste slightly unpleasant, smell indistinctive. Cap glabrous, dark gray-brown (oac868), gills whitish-beige (oac850-851), stipe concolorous with the cap, darker toward the base. SP whitish with a slight pink tint (oac857). Some mycelium present at the base of the stipe. - Spores ornamented. Dimensions: 8.1 (SD = 0.5) x 5.1 (SD = 0.3) micr., Q = 1.59 (SD = 0.08), n = 30. Many fusiform and lageniform pleurocystidia present as well as such with crystals at their tips (this excludes M. melaleuca). Motic B2-211A, magnification 1.000 x, oil, in water.

Many pros agree this is almost impossible without microscopy. No wonder many old observations seem to be questionable particularly in Melanoleuca melaleuca group where in addition species names melaleuca, polioleuca and vulgaris have been treated differently by different authors. Krieglsteiner (2001) states that large part of all historical observations not supported with an available exsiccate should be simply forgotten. Nevertheless, following Ref.1.the mushrooms photographed seem to be Melanoleuca polioleuca. Two typical traits, large cheilocystidia (a few with a small head of crystals have been also observed) and brownish trama in stipe base should distinguish it from very similar M. melaleuca, which grows in exactly the same habitats. - Growing in a group of about 10 pilei within 2 x 0.5 m area; pilei diameter 6-9 cm, pilei surface looking velvety; pilei slightly hygrophanous, cutis peels off easily up to about 1/3 of the radius of pilei; stipe fibrous,4.5-8 cm long and 9-12 mm in diameter, at the base somewhat club shaped with a diameter of up to 18 mm; taste mild, mushroomy, pleasant, somewhat sweet; smell none; SP abundant, beige with slight green tint, oac7. - Spores warty.
