The Yellow-white jelly cups ( Femsjonia peziziformis ) is a fungal art from the family of tears fungal relatives (Dacrymycetaceae). It forms gelatinous, yellowish fruiting bodies in the form of small, stalked cups and grows as a saprobiont on dead, debarked wood. The species is widespread in the Holarctic and fructified from August to October, preferably on European silver fir ( Abies alba ).
features
Macroscopic features
The yellow-white gelatinous cup has a gyratory to cup-shaped fruiting body with a firm, gelatinous texture and a height and width of 3–51 mm each. The basidiocarpia grow socially out of a white mycelial felt . Their hymenium , which is confined to the top of the fruiting body, is yellow or yellow-orange when fresh and dirty red-brown when dry. The stalk and other sterile areas are hairy white.
Microscopic features
The sterile areas have 40–80 × 4–7.5 μm long, terminal cells. The hyaline hyphae of the inner tissue are thin-walled and branched. They have a diameter of 2–5 µm, are septate and have buckles .
distribution
The yellow and white jelly cup is widespread in the Holarctic (Europe via Japan to North America). The species inhabits submeridional to boreal climates, but prefers suboceanic and temperate climates .
ecology
The yellow and white jelly cup is a saprobiont on dead wood . Branches and twigs lying on the ground are preferably attacked in the initial phase of decomposition. The species usually fructifies from August to October, more rarely in late autumn or spring.
