The Borstige Knäueling ( Panus neostrigosus , Syn. Lentinus strigosus ) is a species of fungus from the family of Stielporlingsverwandten (Polyporaceae).

features

The fruiting bodies of the mushroom are fan-shaped to kidney-shaped and are often tufted, the conspicuously bristly hairy or felty hats are 2–7 cm wide, they are purple-violet in color when young and fade to reddish-brown to ocher-yellow with age. The narrow, crowded lamellae are yellowish-white in young fruiting bodies and ocher-colored in older ones and run down the stalk. The spore powder is colored cream to ocher. The very short (1–3 cm long and 0.5–1 cm wide) stalk is pale (gray or lightly loose) and hairy to bristly, it can also be completely absent. The flesh (trama) is white and leathery. The mushroom initially tastes like flour, later bitter and astringent .

ecology

Fruiting bodies of the bristle ball on a tree stump

Like all saw blades, the bristle knot is a saprophytic wood inhabitant, it colonizes hardwoods, in Central Europe especially beech , oak and birch , but can also occur on other hardwoods, rarely conifers. The bristle knot is a warmth and sun-loving species that rarely occurs in closed forests; it can be found in clearcuts, clearings and on south-exposed, warm, light hedges and forest edges.

distribution

The species is almost cosmopolitan, it was found in Australia, South and Southeast Asia, tropical Africa, South, Central and North America. In the Holarctic , it occurs mainly in Mediterranean areas and is rare in temperate climates. Accordingly, it is found in Europe mainly in the south and quickly becomes rare in the north, in Germany it is present in all federal states with a focus in the south, but very rare in some areas. Krieglsteiner states that the number of bristles in Baden-Württemberg increased significantly towards the end of the 20th century, which is attributed to the warming and urbanization of the landscape.

meaning

The bristle ball is not suitable as an edible mushroom, as a wood destroyer it is economically insignificant.
