The cup-shaped saw blade ( Neolentinus degener , syn. Lentinus cyathiformis ) is a type of fungus from the family of the leaf relatives (Gloeophyllaceae).
features
The convex to the center depressed hat becomes 5–22 cm wide. The top of the hat is ocher-brown with small, rust-orange to brown scales or thorns. The edge is long curled up when young, later fluttering and sharp. The closely spaced lamellae are broad and forked, young vein-shaped or with cross connections (anastomoses) and run far down the stalk . They have a pale-brownish to ocher-yellowish color. The lamellar edges are whitish and in ripe specimens sawed to finely notched or jagged. The 5–10 cm long, 1–2 cm wide stem is felty and colored like the hat. The meat ( trama ) is tough.
ecology
The cup-shaped sawblade is a wood-dwelling saprobiont that occurs particularly on free-standing, dying or dead or stumps of deciduous trees. The species causes brown rot in relatively fresh hardwoods . Poplar in particular is populated as a substrate , along with other hardwoods and occasionally softwoods are also mentioned in the literature. The cup-shaped saw blade is a warmth-loving species and grows mainly in light, damp forests such as floodplains or damp hornbeam-oak forests. The species can also be found in poplar plantations and parks.
distribution
The species is common in Asia and Europe in areas with a Mediterranean and temperate climate. In Europe, it is particularly widespread in southern and south-eastern Europe, but is also found in western and central Europe. To the north, the cup-shaped saw blade occurs as far as Belarus, Sweden and Estonia. It is very rare in Germany.
meaning
The cup-shaped saw blade is not an edible mushroom, as a wood destroyer it is insignificant.
