Trametes versicolor (L.) PilatTurkey Tail, DE: Schmetterlings-TrameteSlo.: pisana ploskocevkaDat.: Feb. 11. 2016Lat.: 46.36179 Long.: 13.704983Code: Bot_933/2016_DSC0355Habitat: Young, mixed forest and bushes, Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies, Ailanthus altissima, Fraxinus ornus, Ostrya carpinifolia, Corylus avellana dominant; overgrown former pasture; slightly inclined mountain slope, south aspect; shallow, skeletal, calcareous ground; relatively warm place; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 610 m (2.000 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: dead, still standing Fagus sylvatica trunkPlace: Lower Trenta valley, upper part of pastures belonging to the abandoned farm house Koc, Trenta 3, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: Trametes versicolor is a very common species. Several authors consider it as the most frequent decomposer of wood of deciduous trees. It almost always appears in large, sometimes very beautifully colored, colonies. But it is also a very variable species, particularly in colors of distinctly zonate pilei. Because of that confusion with other species of genus Trametes is quite possible. The best distinguishing traits of Trametes versicolor for me are very small pores (up to 5/mm) and a distinctive, but very thin dark brown line between context and tomentum in cross-section. But one should cut pilei with a very sharp knife, or better with a razor blade. In this way the line remains undamaged and clearly visible. Growing in a group of several hundreds of pilei; pilei dimensions up to 4.6 x 2.9 cm and up to 6(8) mm thick, pore layer 1.5(2.5) mm thick; taste distinct, unpleasant, on rotten something?; smell mild, mushroomy; pore density 43/cm (SD=5.3, n=8), SP whitish-beige, oac 851.Spores smooth.

Piptoporus betulinus (Bull.: Fr.) Karst.Birch polypore, DE: BirkenporlingSlo.: brezova odpadljivkaDat.: Nov. 19. 2009Lat.: 46.34125 Long.: 13.57791Code: Bot_401/2009_DSC6837Habitat: light primary wood on former pastures in a group of Betula pendula, slightly inclined mountain slope, southwest aspect; cretaceous clastic rock (flysh) bedrock; in half shade, quite humid place; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 500 m (1.650 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: dead standing and fallen trunks of Betula pendula as well as rarely on stumps.Place: Bovec basin, at the foot of Mt. Svinjak, 1.965 m (6.447 feet), above Kal-Koritnica village, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Birch (Betula pendula var. pendula) is not a very common tree in my surrounding. It appears only here and there, rarely in larger stands. However, wherever it grows Piptoporus betulinus is frequently present. Hence this polypore is quite common and easy to find. Piptoporus betulinus is an annual polypore but its dead sporocarps remain present sometimes several years, before they totally disintegrate. It is a very nice fungus, easy to recognize in spite of the fact that it appears in any imaginable shape and size. Its pilei have smooth, lacquer surface when young and very light context. It can scarcely be mistaken. The fungus is at first a parasite attacking only already weakened trees. Later it becomes saprophyte causing brown root of the wood. This means, it disintegrates mainly cellulose. The attacked wood looses much of its specific weight, sometimes even 70% of its initial value. The remaining brown lignin is often disintegrated by white root fungi cohabitating on the same trunks like Daedaleopsis confragosa, Daedaleopsis tricolor, Lenzites betulina and Fomes fomentarius (Ref.:1), which complete wood disintegration process. A piece of this species was carried by 'tzi', the 5.300 year old mummy of ice man found high in the Alps in 1991. For what purpose these people used it is not known with certainty. Many fruitbodies were present at the place of this observation. The largest one had 30 cm across. Ref.:(1) G.J.

The best distinguishing traits of Trametes versicolor for me are very small pores (up to 5/mm) and a distinctive, but very thin dark brown line between context and tomentum in cross-section. But one should cut pilei with a very sharp knife, or better with a razor blade. In this way the line remains undamaged and clearly visible. Growing in a group of several hundreds of pilei; pilei dimensions up to 4.6 x 2.9 cm and up to 6(8) mm thick, pore layer 1.5(2.5) mm thick; taste distinct, unpleasant, on rotten something?; smell mild, mushroomy; pore density 43/cm (SD=5.3, n=8), SP whitish-beige, oac 851.Spores smooth. Dimensions; 5.3 [6.1 ; 6.4] 7.1 x 1.8 [2 ; 2.1] 2.4 microns; Q = 2.5 [2.9 ; 3.1] 3.5; N = 40; C = 95%; Me = 6.2 x 2.1 microns; Qe = 3.
