The limacella ( Limacella ) is a fungal genus of the family of Wulstlingsverwandten .
features
Macroscopic features
The mucous umbrellas form fruiting bodies divided into a hat and a stem , which in their outer shape resemble small umbrellas . They have a Velum universale , in some species also a Velum partiale. The Velum universale mucus the fruiting body when it ripens, which makes the cap skin and sometimes the stalk sticky to slimy. The velum partiale can remain on the stem as a membranous, hanging ring, slimy ring zone or like a veil. A volva is generally absent, but can be rudimentary in young fruiting bodies. The slats are white and free. The spore powder is white.
Microscopic features
The hyphae have buckles . The spores are hyaline , inamyloid and either smooth or ornamented with small warts .
ecology
The slime parasols are saprobionts that grow on earth, leaf and needle litter, and less often on wood.
species
The genus includes around 20 species worldwide, of which the following taxa occur or are expected in Europe:
| Slime umbrellas ( Limacella ) in Europe |
Systematics
Some authors also place the genus in relation to the roof mushroom relatives .
In recent times, some species that used to belong to the mucous umbrella have been separated due to phylogenetic investigations and the new genera Limacellopsis ( dripped slime umbrella , L. guttata ), Catatrama and Zhuliangomyces ( ivory slime umbrella , Z. illinitus and Ockergelber Schleimschirmling , Z. ochraceoluteus ).
meaning
Some species of the slime umbrella are edible, but not very productive because of the small fruiting bodies or due to their rarity they can be spared.
