Systematics
Subclass : Agaricomycetidae
Order : Boletales (Boletales)
Subordination : Sclerodermatineae
Family : Potato bovist relatives (Sclerodermataceae)
Genre : Pea sprinkles ( Pisolithus )
Type : Common pea sprinkler
Scientific name
Pisolithus arhizus
( Scop  .: Pers. ) Intoxicated

The Common pea litter Ling or the Bohemian truffle , historical and peas porcini ( Pisolithus arhizus , for the species names are found in the literature the notation arhizos ) is a fungal art from the family of Hartbovistverwandten . Despite the belly fungal fruiting bodies of the fungus belongs to the order Dickröhrlingsartigen (Boletales). The species is one of five European representatives of the genus pea scatterers ( Pisolithus ). Obsolete synonyms are P. arenarius Alb. et Schw., P. tinctorius (Micheli: Pers.) Coker et Couch and Polysaccum pisocarpium .

The species specializes in acidic, nutrient-poor soil and is considered a typical dump fungus in the landscape that followed lignite mining . It fructifies from late summer to autumn mainly on areas with little vegetation. The mushroom is sometimes used in the kitchen as a spice mushroom, is used in forestry as a mycorrhizal partner of trees and is used to dye wool.

Macroscopic features

The pea sprinkle forms irregularly club-like, above-ground fruiting bodies with a rounded, bulbous head and a short or longer pseudo-stem that can be about 5–15 cm high and 5–9 cm wide. The peridia is about 1 mm thick, it is initially whitish in color and later discolored yellowish to dirty brown. As the fruit body ripens, it disintegrates irregularly. The gleba only fills the upper part of the fruiting body. It is separated by sterile veins, which later form pea-like (name!) 5 × 2 mm large bodies, so-called pseudoperidioles. This results in the characteristic marbled drawing of the gleba when the fruit bodies are cut through. The pseudoperidioles are initially whitish in color, turn reddish-brown with increasing maturity, and finally black and disintegrate powdery. The 1–8 cm long pseudo-stem is mostly sunk into the ground. It is firm and massive and has yellow, tufted mycelium strands at the base.

Microscopic features

The rounded spores resemble the potato bovists ( Scleroderma ), are covered with relatively thick, curved spines and measure an average of 7–9 micrometers (dimensions without spines).

Ecology and phenology

Active opencast mining near Bełchatów in Poland: The disturbed soils are ideal locations for the common pea litter.

The common pea litter is a heat-loving mycorrhizal fungus with a wide range of symbiotic partners. In Central Europe the most common silver birch and Scots pine on acidic, nutrient-poor pioneer locations, other birch and pine species as well as poplars , oaks and buckthorns come into consideration. The fungus grows on heaps with emerging pines and birches, on clear-cuts, in pine forests and on pioneer lawns with emerging trees and similar locations. In contrast, the fungus is extremely rare in near-natural and undisturbed forests. It is considered a typical pile mushroom of the landscape following the lignite mining. The fruiting bodies are found mainly in locations with little or almost no vegetation.

In Central Europe, the common pea litter can be found from July to September.

distribution

The boundaries of the distribution area are difficult to indicate, since several species have recently been separated or newly described in the genus, which was previously regarded as monotypical.

In Europe the common pea litter occurs from the Mediterranean area to the northern border of the temperate zone; within this belt it has a clear continental tendency to spread. In Germany, the common pea litter is mainly found in Bavaria north of the Danube, in Saxony, in southern Saxony-Anhalt and especially in southern Brandenburg. In the other areas the sites are far apart and the species is very rare.

Existence and endangerment

While the common pea litter in near-natural locations is in decline and threatened with extinction, it is not endangered in the post-mining landscapes and is even spreading. The input of nitrogen has negative effects on its populations.

meaning

forestry

Tree nurseries use the pea sprinkler specifically as a mycorrhizal fungus to encourage tree growth.

Due to its ability to colonize very nutrient-poor and acidic locations, the common pea litter is of great ecological importance in the afforestation and foresting of heaps and similar locations. It is also used in tree nurseries to produce a mycorrhiza , and its spores are traded for this purpose.

Colorants

The pea sprinkle is also used to dye wool, which is alluded to by the synonymous scientific species name " tinctorius " (dyer) and the English name "Dyemaker's Puffball" (dye manufacturer Stäubling).

Food value

Although the common pea sprinkler is not considered an edible mushroom, some mushroom pickers appreciate it in the kitchen as a condiment for sauces due to its strong aroma.

Species delimitation

Potato Boviste

Onion Hartbovist
( Scleroderma cepa )

The differentiation from other representatives of the genus Pisolithus is very difficult or even impossible with classical methods, but simple by comparing the DNA sequences of the barcoding region ITS.

Externally, the fruiting bodies of the common pea litter can be confused with the poisonous potato bovists ( Scleroderma ). A longitudinal section, however, reveals the typical Gleba, which is divided into pea-sized, rounded chambers. Potato bovists, on the other hand, have a uniformly colored, soon gray-blackish gleba with only a fine, light veining.
