features
_Fisch_146989.jpg)
The fruiting bodies of the noble dog's tail are initially underground, 2–4 cm high and 2 cm wide witch eggs with a pale brownish outer surface and a strong, branched mycelium cord. The receptaculum breaking out of the witch's egg is up to 15 cm long, it is 1–2 cm thick at the base and tapers upwards. It is hollow and porous and is colored red almost everywhere. It is often curved or lying on the ground. The olive-green, slimy gleba covers the upper part of the receptaculum irregularly. In contrast to the common dog, the elegant dog's rod smells strongly of carrion.
ecology
The introduced elegant dog's tail occurs in Central Europe only in anthropogenically influenced locations. As a saprobiontic soil dweller, it is found in garden lawns, in parks and on path borders.
distribution
The noble dog's rod is a species native to North America, which in Central Europe was mostly found inconsistently in Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland and Germany. Outside of Europe it is also found in Japan.
meaning
The noble dog's rod is out of the question as an edible mushroom.
