The veiled hermaphrodite ( Asterophora parasitica , syn .: Nyctalis parasitica ) is a type of mushroom from the family of Rasling relatives .
features
The veiled hermaphrodite forms small, group-wise to gregarious fruiting bodies divided into hat and stem with white to gray-purple hats up to 2.5 cm wide. The surface of the hat has a silky veil when it is young, it does not later become floury like the dusting hermaphrodite . When it is damp, the surface of the hat is slightly slimy, the edge of the hat is bent down when it is young, it later becomes wavy or turned up a little, it is sometimes torn. The thick lamellae are weakly to clearly spread, grown broadly on the stem, individual lamellae can be forked. The initially whitish lamellae become brownish with age, they disintegrate into chlamydospores . The whitish stalk is 1–3 cm long and 2–3 mm thick, it is slightly shaggy and grooved at the tip, the stalk is pithy and full when young, and hollow in older specimens. The mushrooms have an unpleasant smell and taste like a meal. Basidospores are mostly absent, the chlamydospores are smooth with large drops.
ecology
The veiled hermaphrodite grows saprobion table on rotting fruiting bodies of black blotchers , especially on Russula adusta , Russula delica , Russula densifolia and Russula nigricans , more rarely also on milklings, e.g. B. Lactarius vellereus . The veiled hermaphrodite occurs in various forest types over acidic, more rarely neutral or alkaline soils, especially in damp places. The fruiting bodies appear in Central Europe especially in rainy years from late July to late October.
distribution
The veiled hermaphrodite is found in Central America, Europe and Georgia . In Europe, it is found from southern Europe to Great Britain, Belarus, Russia and Scandinavia.
meaning
The veiled hermaphrodite is not an edible mushroom.
