Ischnoderma resinosum (Schrad.) P. Karst., syn.: Fomitopsis resinosa (Schrad.) Rauschert, Ischnoderma fuliginosum (Scop.) Murrill, Ungulina fuliginosa (Scop.) Pat.EN: Resinous Polypore, DE: Laubholz-HarzporlingSlo.: bukova irhovkaDat.: Dec. 3. 2018Lat.: 46.337198 Long.: 13.553608Code: Bot_1168/2018_DSC4494Habitat: cultivated grassland, city park; flat terrain; calcareous ground; partly sunny place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 450 m (1.480 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: dead Acer sp. (personal communication with a resident living next to the place) stump near its final stage of decomposition.Place: Bovec basin, city park in front of the hotel Kanin, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Ischnoderma resinosum is widely distributed and a common species in many regions. But it is a rare find in west Slovenia. This observation seems, at least according to available data from Boletus Informaticus database (Ref.: 8), the first one in Posoje region. Pilei are surprisingly soft for a polypore. When fresh they have very distinctive and pleasant smell resembling the smell of Gloeophyllum odoratum. However, this smell fades after some time and disappears completely in dry herbarium samples. It is interesting that young, but also large, seemingly mature pilei do not yet have hymenium developed and do not produce spores (Ref.: 6). In my first attempt I was trying to do microscopy of both in vain. Only after I went back to the site and bring home a very old, hard, almost decaying pileus I found plentiful spores.Many pilei were present; pilei semicircular to flabelliform, applanate, also effuse-reflexed and sometimes imbricate and confluent, measuring up to 15 x 9 cm, up to 2 cm thick; trama up to 15 mm thick, pore layer up to 10 mm thick; pilei soft; pores small, slightly bruising brownish; SP rather faint, light ocher, oac 847; 5% KOH reaction on pileus almost black with deep purple tint, on pores reddish-brown, on trama brown.Spores smooth. Dimensions: (4,3) 4,8 - 5,6 (5,9) (1,6) 1,8 - 2,2 (2,5) m; Q = (2,3) 2,34 - 2,8 (3,1); N = 40; Me = 5,2 2 m; Qe = 2,6.

GillerClustered Domecap, Fried Chicken Mushroom, DE: Brauner Buschelrasling, Frostrasling, SimmerlingSlo.: rjavi zajekDat.: Sept. 17. 2014Lat.: 46.35981 Long.: 13.70139Code: Bot_838/2014_DSC4273Habitat: mixed wood, Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies dominant trees; modestly steep, SE oriented mountain slope; shallow, skeletal soil layer, overgrown calcareous sand, stone and rocks; relatively dry and warm place; in shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 600 m (1.970 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: forest soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa, between villages Soa and Trenta, next to the trail from Trenta 2b cottage to abandoned farmhouse 'Strulc', East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Lyophyllum decastes is actually an aggregate of quite differently looking mushrooms. Many species names have been used in this group. Authors still have different approach to them. I follow Krieglsteiner's view (Ref.2) (without my own arguments, but because it is the simplest for me), who considers Lyophyllum decastes, Lyophyllum fumosum, Lyophyllum loricatum, Lyophyllum aggregatum, Lyophyllum conglobatum and Lyophyllum cinerascens a single very variable species. Again and again fruit bodies are found with all possible intermediate properties forming an apparent continuum among these species. Growing in groups of several fruit bodies on two places some 100 m apart (see also observation Bot_838/2014_DSC4296 in the same day); pileus diameter up to 5 cm, viscid with young fruit bodies; cuticle thick, rubbery, peels easily; stipe up to 4 cm tall and 1.4 cm in diameter; sporocarps markedly fleshy and firm; taste mild, mushroomy; smell indistinctive, almost none; SP abundant but only after two days of collecting, yellowish-beige with slight green tint, oac13.Spores smooth, subglobose. Dimensions: 5.8 [6.3 ; 6.6] 7.1 x 4.6 [5.1 ; 5.3] 5.8 microns; Q = 1.2 [1.23 ; 1.26] 1.3; N = 37; C = 95%; Me = 6.5 x 5.2 microns; Qe = 1.2.

When we found this Amanita near the lookout at Governor's Chair, its cap was just above the litter. I was quite surprised to find a fairly long, pure white stipe underneath it. I didn't realise how deep the forest floor litter could be.

Lactarius camphoratus (Bull.: Fr.) Fr., syn.: Lactarius cimicarius BartschCurry Milkcap, DE: Kampfermilchling, Kleiner Zichorien-MilchlingSlo.: kafrna mlenicaDat.: Sept. 09. 2014Lat.: 46.36529 Long.: 13.74988Code: Bot_835/2014_DSC3920Habitat: mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant trees, moderately inclined calcareous ground, eventually locally somewhat acid; NW oriented mountain slope, humid and shady place, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 5-7 deg C, elevation 950 m (3.100 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: moss covered forest soil among (decayed) roots of a Picea abies stump in its latest stage of disintegration (decomposed almost to soil).Place: Lower Trenta valley, next to the trail from village Trenta to Planina Lepo, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Dull, matt, like velvety, ocher-red-brown color of pilei and fairly 'unicolor' appearing fruit bodies are typical for this quite common milkcap. However, several very similar species like Lactarius quietus, Lactarius rufus, Lactarius badiosanguineus and Lactarius serifluus exist growing almost in the same habitat. Yet, determination of Lactarius camphoratus seems still quite easy. Decisive is its smell on 'kitchen spices'. It is already noticeable whit fresh fruit bodies but becomes obtrusively strong when they are dried. In the literature the smell is described like on curry, on 'Maggi', on chicory, on camphor, etc.. Anyway, the smell is strong, specific and hard to forget.Growing in several groups of up to four pilei together, more than 15 pilei all together present; pilei diameter 4 - 5 cm; stipe 3 - 4 cm tall and about 8 - 9 mm in diameter; taste mild but distinctive, mushroomy, slightly unpleasant; smell first mild, later stronger and particularly strong when dry, on spices; flesh quite brittle; SP abundant, beige, oac857; pilei not bruising; milk quite abundant, whitish, actually consisting of watery fluid with white milky, like coagulated, inclusions; milk not changing color and remaining white even when dry and of mild taste, not burning or being distinctly bitter.Spores coarsely warty with some ridges. Dimensions: 6.9 [7.6 ; 7.9] 8.6 x 6 [6.7 ; 7] 7.7 microns; Q = 1.1 [1.12 ; 1.15] 1.2; N = 32; C = 95%; Me = 7.7 x 6.8 microns; Qe = 1.1.Olympus CH20, NEA 100x/1.25, magnification 1.000 x, oil; in water; live material.
