Macroscopic features

The hat of the copper-red yellow foot is orange-brown to copper-red and has a diameter of 1.5 to 10 cm, the size is very variable. In the middle of the hat there is always a pointed papilla that is still visible in old age. The skin of the hat is very greasy when it is damp, and it has a matt sheen when it is dry. The initially orange-red colored lamellae become dark purple-brown with age; they run down the handle for a short time , are thick and distant. When young, they are covered by a fluffy, delicate-fiber velum. This sometimes leaves a ring zone on the stem, in which the blackish or dark olive-brown spore powder gets caught. The stem is yellow to orange-brown or copper-colored with grain and has a dark yellow base. It is pointed towards the base. If you cut open the stem, the saffron-yellow flesh becomes visible, which appears chrome-yellow in the base and reddish red with age. It smells and tastes unspecific.

Microscopic features

The elongated, spindle-shaped spores have a smooth surface. They have no germ pore and are 17–23 × 5.5–7 µm in size. The stately cheilocystids are thick-walled (wall up to 3 µm), cylindrical-spindle-shaped and colorless. The lamellar trama is amyloid .

Species delimitation

The copper-red yellow foot can be confused with the felty yellow foot ( Chroogomphus helveticus ). It differs in its hat colors, which only become reddish with age, and a felty, dry hat surface.

There are other yellow feet, which are still relatively unknown, are similar to the copper-red yellow feet and partly not differentiated from it or under " Chroogomphus rutilus agg. “Were summarized. Chroogomphus mediterraneus is distinguished by a mainly inamyloid lamellar trama. Chroogomphus purpurascens is distinguished by thin to weakly thick-walled cystidia with a wall up to 1 µm thick. Chroogomphus fulmineus and Chroogomphus subfulmineus are distinguished by reddish spots on the base of the stem and dark olive to blackish flesh in the base of the stem.

Mushroom collectors should not confuse the species with veils like the deadly poisonous pointed hunched rough head ( Cortinarius rubellus ). This one has rust-brown spore powder, a faint radish odor and no yellow flesh in the base of the stem.

Ecology and phenology

The copper-red yellow foot is a mycorrhizal fungus , preferred partners are pines or other conifers. The fruiting bodies appear in their vicinity from July to October. The copper-red yellow foot has no special soil requirements, perhaps that is why it is quite common and widespread. In Switzerland it is very common, especially in the Jura and at lower altitudes, but individual finds have also been made at 2100 meters above sea level.

meaning

The copper-red yellow foot is edible, its meat turns copper-red when heated.
