The yellow parrot ( Leucocoprinus birnbaumii , syn .: Leucocoprinus flos-sulphuris; L. lutea ) is a type of fungus from the genus of the parrot . It is often found in flower pots .
features
The yellow folding umbrella forms fruiting bodies with a three to five (six) centimeter large, initially bell-shaped, then conical umbrella hat with a predominantly disc-shaped, flat apex. The color of the mushroom is lemon yellow with a chrome tinge, the color fades a little with age. The hat is covered with flake-like flakes that get smaller from the middle. The lamellae of the yellow pleated umbrella are free, slightly curved and widen towards the edge of the hat. Their color is sulfur yellow. The flesh of the mushroom is yellowish white and thin, only a little thicker under the middle of the hat. The stem reaches a height of five to six centimeters in fully grown mushrooms and is lemon yellow on the outside, but sulfur yellow on the inside. There are also little flakes on it, but they can be wiped off. The ring of the stem is ascending and floury on the edge. The smell is described as "somewhat cellar-like".
ecology
The yellow fold umbrella is a saprobiontic ground dweller. In Central Europe the species can only be found in heated greenhouses and in apartments in flower pots and similar locations. The fruiting body formation is independent of the weather due to the occurrence in houses, the fungus can be found all year round.
distribution
The yellow folding umbrella originally comes from the tropics, it was transported with plants and soil all over the world. In Germany the species can be found everywhere, there is no connection to certain areas.
meaning
The yellow umbrella is suspected of being poisonous and is out of the question as an edible mushroom; its presence does not pose a threat to the plants in the populated flower pot. There are no known negative effects on human health from its occurrence in living spaces.
