The Krause or beech vein counting ( Plicatura crispa , Syn . : Plicatura faginea ) is a type of mushroom from the order of the mushroom-like .
features
Macroscopic features
The fruiting bodies grow in rows to roof tiles. They either sit flat on the substrate or run down a little. At the attachment point they are briefly drawn together like a stalk. The hats are between one and three centimeters wide and have a wavy edge. They are yellow-brown, colored whitish at the edge and zoned somewhat concentrically. The hymenophore on the underside consists of bifurcated, radially extending folds that are cross-veined at the base. It is whitish to cream in color, but sometimes has a greenish tinge. The consistency is tough and membranous. When fresh, the fruit bodies are soft and pliable, fragile when dry.
Microscopic features
The hyphae structure is monomitic. The hyphae are hyaline and have septa with buckles . The basidia are narrowly clubbed, also hyaline and arranged in a dense palisade. The spores are also hyaline, very small, allantoid, smooth and thin-walled. They react weakly to clearly amyloid and acyanophilic.
Ecology and phenology
The spectrum of biotopes in which the Krause vein counting can be found is very large. However, it occurs primarily in beech forests . These are mostly rich in bases, rarely poor in bases, not too dry and quite rich in precipitation. It can also be found in bushes, hedges, on the edge of the forest and along rivers. The fungus grows even in acidic montane spruce-fir forests and older spruce forests on interspersed hardwoods.
The Krause vein counting grows on dead, still attached and hanging branches and twigs as well as on lying substrates of almost any thickness. Sometimes it can also be found on stumps that it attacks from the late initial to the early final phase of the decomposition. The colonized substrates are primarily red beech , besides hazel and occasionally Prunus and Betula . Occasionally other types of wood are also colonized, whereby the substrate spectrum is considerable; Relocations to conifers are also possible.
The fruiting bodies are formed in autumn and winter. They remain for the rest of the year but are sterile. Before new fruit bodies are formed in autumn, their number is significantly reduced in summer.
distribution
The Krause vein counting is widespread in the Holarctic from meridional to boreal . It can be found in North America, Europe and Asia. In Europe, the area extends from Great Britain and France in the west to Poland in the east and south to Spain, northern Italy and Romania and north to southern Fennoscandinavia and Estonia. In Germany the fungus is widespread to the south of the Main .
meaning
The Krause vein counting is not edible due to its tough consistency.
