The beech tube tremor or trumpet mushroom ( Ascotremella faginea ) is the only species of the genus Ascotremella worldwide . The fungus forms gelatinous fruiting bodies and grows mainly on beeches . In contrast to glandular and quivering flesh, the flesh of which also has a gelatinous consistency, the fungus belongs to the pack fungus .

features

The beech tube trembling ( Ascotremella faginea ) grows on deciduous trees, especially common beech.

Beaded, lobed, brain-like folded fruit bodies are characteristic of the trumpet mushroom. When fresh they are pink or flesh-like in color, and when they are older they are gray-brown. When converged, they can form 2–10 cm wide and 5–20 cm high, circular to cushion-shaped bearings. When it is dry, the fruiting bodies shrink and harden. The spores in the tubes are elliptical, single-celled, colorless, finely striped lengthways and 6–10 µm × 4–5 µm in size.

Occurrence

The trumpet mushroom grows in clusters on bark or wood of stored branches and trunks of various deciduous trees, especially beech . He prefers fairly fresh, little to moderately decomposed wood areas. It can be found from June to November. The mushroom was described by Peck in 1890 in the USA in New York State . The first discovery in Europe came in August 1944 on dead wood near Goodwood / Sussex . On September 10, 1960, it was first found in Germany near Bad Oldesloe in southern Schleswig-Holstein . It is rare to absent-minded, but in recent years there have been more reports of finds.
