Descriptions of Mycena alba in literature nicely fit to this observation. The species is considered rare almost everywhere (Ref.:2). There are only a few observations in Slovenia registered in the Boletus Informaticus data base so far. However the mushroom is probably much more frequent as data show. There is no doubt that it is overlooked frequently, since it is small. As far as I was able to check Ostrya carpinifolia has not been recorded yet as a host.Growing solitary in a group of more than 30 pilei all around a single tree trunk from 0.5 m to 1.8 m above ground level; pilei diameter 4 - 9 mm, stipe 5 - 8 mm long, diameter about 0.5 mm; taste poorly tested since the fungi are so small, apparently indistinctive; smell indistinctive; flesh quite firm considering miniature size of fruit bodies; SP faint, probably white.Spores smooth.

Chroogomphus rutilus (Schaeff.: Fr.) Miller, syn.: Gomphidius viscidus (L.) Fr. Copper Spike, DE: Kuferroter GelbfuSlo.: bakreni polarDat.: Sept. 19. 2009Lat.: 46.37473 Long.: 13.74063Code: Bot_380/2009_DSC4140Habitat: sandy grassland; mixed broadleaved and conifer wood edge; Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris, Salix eleagnos in the vicinity; semiruderal, calcareous ground; flat terrain; dry, half sunny place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 580 m (1.900 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, left bank of river Soa, southwest of village Trenta, downstream of Matoja Inn, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Croomogomphus rutilus is a quite common fungus in this region. Two other species Chroomogomhus helveticus and C. glutinosus grow in the same region. It is not always simple to tell them apart. C. glutinosus is normally very slimy and grows always under Picea abies while Croomogomphus rutilus grows only under two-needle pines. C. helveticus is rarely slimy but grows under Picea abies, two- and fife-needle Pinus species. Inamyloid hypha of the pileipellis is another more demanding distinguishing character. Spore dimensions are very similar of all three and hence of little help in discrimination. Different mycorrhizal partners also did not help in identification of this find since Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris (a two-needle species) were in the vicinity. Yet, characteristic copper tone of the pilei seems to be quite a reliable feature for Croomogomphus rutilus. Growing in small groups of a few fruit bodies and solitary; SP abundant, grayish-brown. Spores smooth. Dimensions 17,3 [18,5 ; 19,1] 20,3 x 5,8 [6,4 ; 6,6] 7,1 microns; Q = 2,6 [2,8 ; 3] 3,2; N = 24; C = 95%; Me = 18,8 x 6,5 microns; Qe = 2,9.

Comments: Once all teeth fungi belonged to the genus Hydnum. Scientists believed that hymenophore of this unusual kind represents a trait, which guarantees a common ancestor. Today we know this conviction was a failure. Based on DNA analyses, old Hydnum members are presently placed in several genera, some of them are phylogenetically far apart. The teeth hymenophore has developed independently on several branches of phylogenetic tree. Old species Hydnum concrescens is presently placed in the genus Hydnellum. The fungus is very variable and, at the same time, very close to another member of the same genus Hydnellum scrobiculatum. Many mycologists state that a reliable distinction between both taxa, based on morphology alone, is impossible. The main difference between both taxa are size and shape of their spores. Hydnellum concrescens is supposed to have somewhat smaller spores. Several sources also claim that it is in mycorrhizal relation with broad leaved trees while Hydnellum scrobiculatum prefers conifers. The fungus is according to most sources rare, everywhere in sharp decline (Ref.: 2) and protected in several countries.Growing sometimes solitary, but mostly in groups and confluent (see Fig. 3; a pileus with 5 stipes). Pilei diameter from 4.5 to 8.5 cm; smell strong, mushroomy; taste indistinctive, slightly mushroomy; flesh strong, pliant, rubbery-corky; SP reddish-brown, oac701.Spores are irregularly sub-globose with very large irregular warts.

HhmPorcelain Mushroom, Poached Egg fungus, Beringter SchleimreblingSlo.: sluzasta irokolistkaDat.: Oct. 13. 2011Lat.: 46.34001 Long.: 13.71057Code: Bot_560/2011_DSC0186Habitat: mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant trees; steep mountain slope; northwest aspect; calcareous ground; in shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, elevation 990 m (3.250 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: fallen, large, dead Fagus sylvatica lying on ground, partly still in bark.Place: Vrsnik valley region, above the settlement 'Na skali', at the foot of Mt. Travniki rob, 2.135 m, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: Oudemansiella mucida is one of the most beautiful mushrooms I know. It isn't colorful but impresses by its elegant shape and consistency. It is like made from half translucent porcelain and is wonderfully glistering in sun rays protruding through tree canopies because of its gelatinous, wet surface. It is actually a quite common species here around and almost always appears in large numbers on dead, mostly still standing Fagus sylvatica trunks, frequently appearing all along their length.Growing in groups of many fruit bodies, more than 200 fruitbodies found in this observation. Taste and smell indistinctive; SP abundant, white.Spores smooth. Dimensions: 15,4 [17,5 ; 18,4] 20,5 x 13,7 [15,2 ; 15,8] 17,2 microns; Q = 1 [1,1 ; 1,2] 1,3; N = 32; C = 95%; Me = 17,9 x 15,5 microns; Qe = 1,2.
