features

Macroscopic features

The hat is 4–10 cm wide, has a matt surface and is shiny when wet; its color is red-brown to red ocher. The edge of the hat is rolled up young, the middle of the hat is always deepened like a funnel. The lamellas are close together and clearly running down the stem, ocher to fox-like, but paler than the hat. They are relatively easy to remove from the hat (mark for red chalk knights). The stem is up to 5 cm long and tough, with mycelial felt at the base. The flesh is pale yellow and thin. He smells woody-tart.

Microscopic features

The spores are fine-black, round and inamyloid (mark of red chalk knights). They are white, 3 to 5 µm in diameter.

Species delimitation

Sometimes it is confused with the similar water-stained red chalk funnel ( Paralepista gilva ) or even confused in mushroom books. Paralepista gilva is viewed by some authors as a special form of the foxed red chalk knight. Since both types are edible, confusion is not tragic, although some authors warn against alcohol consumption at the same time . The red chalk knight with water stains differs from the fox red chalk knight in that it has a slightly lighter color, tending to ocher yellow, and above all because of the concentric "water stains" on the hat. It also looks a bit more robust overall.

In south-western Europe it has already been confused with the fragrant funnel ( Paralepistopsis amoenolens ) which occurs there and which causes the acromelalga syndrome . Since this has now been sighted several times in Switzerland, probably due to global warming, and macroscopically there is a risk of confusion, the red chalk funnel was removed from the list of edible mushrooms in Switzerland.

Ecology and phenology

The mushroom is very gregarious, row and witch ring formers and can be found especially in the coniferous forest from August to November.

Systematics

The species occurs in two forms, which were previously listed as separate species: the coniferous forest form ( inversa ) has a strong fox-red color, whereas the paler form ( flaccida ) can be found in the deciduous forest.

meaning

The fuchsia red chalk knight is edible, but large quantities can be indigestible.
