The branchy goatee ( Hericium coralloides ) is a species of fungus from the family of goatee relatives . It was voted mushroom of the year 2006 by the German Society for Mycology .
features
The fruit body is 100 to 400 millimeters high, fleshy, brittle and initially colored white, later pale ocher. The meat becomes tough with age. The numerous narrow, upward-pointing branches arise from a common trunk. On their underside there are rows arranged, 10 to 15 millimeters long and downwardly directed spines. The spores are broadly ellipsoidal to almost spherical, smooth, hyaline, amyloid and measure 3.5 to 4.5 × 2.5 to 3.5 micrometers. The fungus is monomitic, the hyphae are amyloid and have buckles. Gloeocystids are present.
Ecology and phenology
The branchy goatee grows on the trunks of very rotten deciduous trees. It is mostly found on beech, but also occurs on oak, elm, ash, poplar and birch. The species is widespread in Central Europe, but rare everywhere. The fruiting bodies appear in autumn.
meaning
The branchy goatee is edible when young. Due to its rarity (Red List G2), the species should be spared.
