Substratum: cutoff, partly debarked trunk of Picea abies lying on ground; on bark, on debarked wood and on laterally cut wood.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa, between villages Soa and Trenta, wood side on the west side of the 'Na melu' pasture; near cottage Trenta 2b, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Growing on bark, on debarked wood, in between and on laterally cut wood in many fruit bodies, which were in resupinate, effuse-reflexed and pileate form; the resupinate form up to 12 x 6 cm in size, pilei confluent and up to 25 x 6(10) mm large; context duplex with a gelatinous layer above (very thin) tube layer and white cottony upper layer, all layers together 1.5 - 2.5 mm thick; fruitbodies soft, pliant when fresh and hard when dry; smell pleasant, mushroomy, slightly aromatic like perfumed soap, taste indistinctive (tasting on Picea bark); 5% KOH reaction on pore layer distinctly red, on pilei upper surface less pronounced, muddy orange-brown; SP very faint, probably whitish.Comparing pictures in the literature and internet (pore layer color?), the find could also be similar and closely related Skeletocutis carneogrisea. However, the latter has somewhat smaller spores, is almost always resupinated (doesn't form pilei) and red KOH reaction is not reported (Ref.: 1).

Polyporus ciliatus Fr., syn.: Polyporus lepideus Fr.Fringed Polypore, DE: Maiporling, Bewinperter PorlingSlo.: etinasti luknjiarDat.: May 3. 2016Lat.: 46.35917 Long.: 13.70615Code: Bot_953/2016_IMG0124Habitat: Young riparian forest, Picea abies and Salix eleagnos dominant trees, next to a river; flat terrain occasionally flooded during high water levels of the river, calcareous, young alluvial ground; in shade, humid ground and air; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 530 m (1.740 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: fallen trunk of an old Salix eleagnos mostly not in direct contact with ground, still in bark, moss covered, in the late disintegration phase.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa, between villages Soa and Trenta, next to the farm house Otokar, Trenta 4, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: According to its species name Polyporus ciliatus should have distinctly fringed edge of the pileus. However, this was barely so with this find. Apparently this trait is not very reliable. However, very small pores, barely seen by naked eye (6 pores/mm measured) and appearance in spring clearly distinct it from very similar Polyporus brumalis.About 50 pilei found on two places. Growing solitary and in groups, occasionally two fruitbodies confluent at the base of the stipe; pilei diameter from 35 to 70 mm, pore layer thin, up to 3 mm; stipe 3 - 5 cm long, 4 - 6 mm in diameter, equal and somewhat thicker at the base; pilei surprisingly sturdy, quite hard to cut and chew; smell mild, pleasant, mushroomy; taste distinct, mushroomy, somewhat unpleasant; SP abundant, whitish-light beige, oac851.Spores smooth.

Ganoderma resinaceum Boud.Lacquered Bracket, DE: Harziger LackporlingSlo.: smolena poloenkaDat.: Aug. 23. 2015Lat.: 46.36092 Long.: 13.70162Code: Bot_908/2015_DSC8633Habitat: Alpine pasture; moderately incline mountain slope; southeast aspect; calcareous, stony, colluvial ground; shallow soil layer; full sun, dry and relatively warm place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 625 m (2.050 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: at the base of dead stump of a stand alone, cut down, mostly decorticated Ostrya carpinifolia.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa, 'Na melu' place, near Trenta 2b cottage, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: According to keys of genus Ganoderma published in Ryvarden (2014) and Bernicchia (2005) this find fits well to Ganoderma resinaceum. It has distinctly stipitate pileus, continuous, partly shiny and reddish-brown (not dark brown and dull as with Ganoderma applanatum and Ganoderma australe) resinous crust, which first melts and then burns with a yellow flame when heated at the tip of a knife in the flame of a match and a darker line in context just above tube layer. However, some traits not mentioned in the keys pose problems. The context color doesn't seem to correspond well to the descriptions in Ryvarden (2014) and Krieglsteiner (2000) ('pale grayish-brown') and Bernicchia (2005) ('brown, red-brown'). The find was found on dead stump of Ostrya carpinifolia (host species not listed as a possible substrate in the literature available to me) while Ganoderma resinaceum is known from live deciduous trees. Measured spores are slightly too long and too wide in average compared to most published data (the only exception is Ref.: 4). Their width fits better to similar Ganoderma pfeifferi, which is apparently always sessile and never stipitate. Measured spore dimensions actually fit perfectly to Ganoderma carnosum, which is, however, know only from conifers. Also the habitat of the find seems strange. Ganoderma resinaceum is usually found in parks, roadsides, seldom in woods. All this makes my determination uncertain to some extent.Growing solitary; pileus dimensions 10 x 8 cm; oozing reddish droplets when cut, pore layer bruising brown when handled; trama fibrous-corky and very firm, difficult to cut even with a ceramic knife; taste bitter, smell distinctive, pleasant, a kind of mushroomy; SP faint, possibly brown. Spores brown, rough, thick (double) walled. Dimensions: 11.4 [12.2 ; 12.6] 13.5 x 6.9 [7.5 ; 7.8] 8.5 microns; Q = 1.4 [1.6 ; 1.7] 1.8; N = 30; C = 95%; Me = 12.4 x 7.7 microns; Qe = 1.6.

All forms from pure resupinated to distinctly pileate present. Caps of pileate form zonate, up to 14 mm wide and 12 mm off the substrate, often confluent up to 2 mm thick, context thin, upper side beige-pink with some brown strips and green (algae?), with thin whitish margin.

Based on discussion on MO (Ref.: 1) the determination was corrected to Pycnoporellus fulgens. The new determination solves the problems with spore dimensions and substratum.Pycnoporellus fulgens is a rare continental species in Europe apparently restricted to the natural area of Picea abies and distinctly restricted to old forests with high continuity (Ref.: 2). It is more frequent in North America and Canada. It appears that during last decades it shifts its main distribution area from northern regions to southern. Also it seems that its occurrence is increasing, at least in Switzerland (Ref.: 4. and 5.). Growing in a group of about ten pilei; pilei applanate to slightly effused-reflexed, broadly attached; semicircular to slightly dimidiate, soft, but solid and pliant, with softer, wet surface; pilei dimensions: up to 10 cm wide, projecting up to 6 cm off the substratum and up to 1.8 cm thick; distinct lateral stipe absent; pore layer up to 6 mm thick; pore surface slowly discolors to pale brown-red when handled; 5% KOH reaction on trama and pileus surface instant, strong, dark purple red; on pore layer brick red; smell none, taste at the beginning mildly mushroomy later somewhat unpleasant; SP whitish-yellowish, oac909. Several Fomitopsis pinicola pilei were also present on the same log, which is characteristic too for Pycnoporellus fulgens (Ref.: 4).Protected according to Uredba o zavarovanih prostoiveih vrstah gliv, Uradni list RS, t. 58/2011 (Regulation of protected wild fungi, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 58/2011), (2011). on red list Ref.:(1) Id'ed by Susanne Sourell (suse) on Mushroom Observer.

Irpex lacteus (Fr.; Fr.) Fr. Elench. Fung. p145, 1828, syn.: Sistotrema lacteum Fr.Milk-white toothed polypore, DE: Milchweisser EggenpilzSlo.: belkasti rapovecDat.: Feb. 23. 2014Lat.: 46.35947 Long.: 13.70424Code: Bot_784/2014_DSC0038File names: from Irpex-lacteus_raw_1.xxx to Irpex-lacteus_raw_8.xxx.andDat.: Feb. 27. 2014Lat.: 46.35947 Long.: 13.70424Code: Bot_786/2014_DSC0132File names: from Irpex-lacteus_raw_10.xxx to Irpex-lacteus_raw_11.xxx.Habitat: alpine valley, an opening in mixed forest with predominantly Fagus sylvatica followed by Picea abies; modestly inclined southeast oriented mountain slope, overgrown calcareous ground composed of scree, rocks and boulders; mostly in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 560 m (1.950 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: cut down trunk of Fagus sylvatica lying on ground, in its late initial phase of integration; the trunk was massively infected also with Trametes hirsutum.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa, near 'Na melu' place, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comments: fruit body mostly resupinated but also effused-reflexed; very large, about 1.5 m x 20 cm, about 2-3 mm thick, context thinner than pore layer; small 'pilei' up to 8(12) mm off the substrate; hymenophore with initially distinctly irregular angular, almost labyrinthine pores soon becomes irpiciform to hydnoid (compare Figs. 8. and 10.); smell indistinctive, taste initially indistinctive, after some time slightly unpleasant; 5% KOH reaction on context and pore layer mild, color changed to somewhat darker ocher-beige; SP abundant, white-yellowish with a slight green tint, oac014. No hypha clamps have been observed. All observed traits fit well to expectations for Irpex lacteus except cystidia. The fact that I haven't found conspicuously encrusted cystidia puzzles me.Spores smooth.

Leptoporus mollisSlo.: mehka skutovkaDat.: Oct. 31. 2013Lat.: 46.38337 Long.: 13.75061Code: Bot_768/2013_DSC9113Habitat: Mixed wood, east inclined fairly steep mountain slope, calcareous ground, humid place, in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevation 640 m (2.100 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: large, approximately 70 cm (2.3 feet) in diameter, debarked fallen trunk of Picea abies in its late stage of disintegration.Place: Trenta valley, west of village Trenta, right bank of river Soa, next to 'Soka pot' trail, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: This is an interesting fungus from several reasons. First it is quite rare. Second it is the only known species in the genus Leptoporus. Third it is a real surprise when you touch it - surprisingly spongy and so soft, that it is hard to handle it without damaging it. Indeed in strong contrast to what one expects from similar bracket fungi on wood.Growing in groups, many fruit bodies present on the log; sessile brackets up to 5 cm wide, up to 2.5 cm off the substrate and about 2 cm thick, trama layer up to 12 mm thick, pore layer 5-7 mm thick, brackets partly fused; thickly effuse-reflexed form up to 5 x 3.5 cm, totally resupinated patches up to 20 x 6 cm; bruising reddish-brown when touched; taste distinctly aromatic-bitter; smell mushroomy, pleasant, lightly acid; flesh very soft like watery white cheese; no SP obtained, spores collected directly from pore surface using a soft brush; no hypha clamps observed; 5% KOH reaction on pore surface deep brown with red tint; the same on pileus, yet slower reaction and less intensive. Spores' width fits expectations; however, their length is somewhat too small. Probably they were not yet mature.Spores smooth. Dimensions (only larger spores have been measured): 4.7 (SD= 0.2) x 1.8 (SD = 0.1) , Q = 2.62 (SD = 0.23), n = 21. Olympus CH20, NEA 100x/1.25, magnification 1.000 x, oil, in water.
