The thready wooden club ( Xylaria filiformis ) is a tubular fungus from the genus of the wooden club ( Xylaria ).
features
The thread-like wooden club forms thread-like, irregularly compressed stromata (collective fruiting bodies) consisting of vegetative mycelium, into which the actual fruiting bodies ( perithecia ) are sunk in the middle to upper part when they are mature. Immature stomata are partially powdered white to black with an orange-brown tip by conidia spores , ripe fruit bodies are brownish to brown-black in color, thickened in the middle to upper part and warty-humped due to the perithecia. The inside of the stroma is white. The unbranched collective fruiting bodies stand upright and are 3 to 8 cm long and 0.5 to 2 mm thick.
ecology
The filamentous wooden club lives mostly saprobion table on dead stems of herbs and ferns or on leaf veins of rotted leaves. The mushrooms appear in autumn, they prefer higher altitudes and are rare.
meaning
The stringy wooden club is out of the question as an edible mushroom.
