The tufted rasling or brown rasling ( Lyophyllum decastes , syn. Lyophyllum aggregatum ) is a fungus from the rasling family .
Macroscopic features
The hat of the tufted rasling is 3 to 15 centimeters wide. The hat color varies from brown to gray-brown to gray. The surface can be monochrome or appear spotted or striped. The meat has a firm, elastic consistency and smells slightly floury. The whitish lamellae are bulging on the stem . The handle is dirty-whitish, darkened from the base and has tough, fibrous flesh. The fruit bodies stand individually or are fused together in several tufts.
Microscopic features
The spores without a germ pore are smooth, rounded and measure 5-6.5 micrometers. The white spore powder is inamyloid . The basidia are siderophilic. There are no cystids .
Species delimitation
The tufted rasling can easily be confused with other tufted rasling like the armored rasling ( L. loricatum ) and the frost rasling ( L. fumosum ), which are also edible. The poisonous Rötling ( Entoloma sinuatum ) has lighter hat colors and its lamellae are pink to reddish in color, at least in older specimens.
ecology
As a soil-dwelling saprobiont, the fungus is often found in deciduous and mixed forests as well as on meadows and prefers loose, humus soils. The fruiting bodies appear in spring from April to May and in autumn from September to November.
meaning
The tufted rasling is a good, very rich edible mushroom . Only hats should be used, as the stems are tough.
