The common stick spongy ( Kuehneromyces mutabilis , syn .: Galerina mutabilis , Pholiota mutabilis ) is a type of fungus from the family of the Strophariaceae relatives .
features
Distinguishing features are the clearly hunched, shiny, three to six centimeters wide, cinnamon or honey-colored to red-brownish hat, which is paler when dry. The hat is hygrophane (becomes stained when wet) with a grooved edge. The lamellae are initially pale brown, later dusted by the spores from clay to rust brown and run down the handle easily. The thin stem has a protruding ring , the rest of a velum partiale (partial cover). Below this ring, the stalk is dark and sparsely scaly, above it is light yellow. The thin flesh of the mushroom is rust-brown in the handle and lighter in the hat. The mushroom smells pleasantly mushroom-like. If the fruiting bodies are exposed to only a small amount of light, the fruiting bodies remain very small-headed, in complete darkness the formation of fruiting bodies does not take place at all.
ecology
The common stick sponge is a saprobiontic inhabitant of hardwood and coniferous wood, with deciduous wood being preferred in higher layers in higher layers. The species inhabits particularly rotten stumps, stumps and lying trunks, certain soils and forest types are not preferred. The fruiting bodies appear in Central Europe from May to November, but mostly in autumn, and all year round if the weather is mild.
distribution
The common stick sponge is common in Australia, Asia (in the Caucasus, Siberia and Japan), North America and Europe. In Europe, it is common from southern Europe to Iceland and Scandinavia. It is common everywhere in Germany.
meaning
The common stick sponge is a popular edible mushroom. It can easily be confused with the deadly, poisonous softwood or poison dumpster ( Galerina marginata ), with which it can even form mixed turfs on a substrate, so each fungus must be identified individually. Confusion with other poisonous hats is also possible. Collecting stick sponges for food therefore requires great experience. The common stick sponge can be grown on wood. The Japanese stick sponge ( Pholiota nameko ) is a member of the closely related genus Schüpplinge ( Pholiota ).

A typical feature of the stick sponge hats is the hygrophan zone that surrounds the dry hump in a ring
