Black tarnishing blubber ( Russula albonigra )

Systematics
Class : Agaricomycetes
Subclass : insecure position (incertae sedis)
Order : Russulales (Russulales)
Family : Deaf relatives (Russulaceae)
Genre : Russulas ( Russula )
Type : Black tarnishing blubber
Scientific name
Russula albonigra
( Krombh. ) Fr.

The black tarnishing deafness ( Russula albonigra ), also called menthol deafness or menthol black deafness , is a fungus from the family of deaf relatives (Russulaceae). It gets its name from its typical properties of turning completely carbon black and the typical menthol taste .

features

Macroscopic features

The hat is white when young, but quickly turns brown and eventually turns black. It reaches a diameter of 5 to 15 centimeters. The middle of the hat is usually deepened like a funnel or only slightly depressed. The surface is often very greasy, but later dry. Sometimes the hat skin tears open in fields. It is difficult to remove.

The lamellae are initially almost white, but gradually turn blackish starting from the edge and the cutting edges. They are only a little denser in the edge area due to shorter lamellas, but they are not thick, but rather rigid. They run down a stick and are strongly forked.

The stem is also white at first, but later turns black. It's short but mostly thick. The drawing can look brownish dotted or reticulate-veined. The consistency is firm.

The flesh is whitish at first, but like the rest of the fruiting body, it soon turns black. When injured, it turns reddish or steel blue and then black. The taste is bitter rather than sharp; in some regions it can also be sharp. A characteristic menthol-like cool feeling arises on the tip of the tongue. The meat turns milky with acids and milky olive with lye ; it becomes salmon-red with formalin and greenish with iron sulfate .

Microscopic features

Spores of the tarnishing blubber

The spores are round, long-ellipsoidal or kidney-shaped . They are 7–9 µm long and 6–8 µm wide and have small warts up to 0.4 µm high, which are connected by fine lines so that they form a fairly well-developed network. The pleurocystids on the lamellae are slender and have a yellowish, oily content. Pileocystids are absent or do not stain with sulfobenzaldehyde . The cap skin is formed from flat lying, 2-6 µm wide hyphae . The hyphal end cells are 3–5 µm wide.

Species delimitation

The tarnishing deaf is well characterized by its menthol-like taste and the meat, which turns black when injured. Thus it is easy to distinguish from the other black deafnesses (section Compactae ) such as the similar dense-leaved black deafness . The thick-leaved black-and-white blotch also has thick, brittle and noticeably distant lamellae.

ecology

The blackening deafblings are like all deafblings a mycorrhizal fungus , which mainly forms a common mycorrhiza with spruce trees . But it can also enter into a symbiotic partnership with pines and deciduous trees such as the common beech .

The Täubling occurs in various forest communities. Above all in beech-beech forests , in coniferous forests such as: alpine lettuce-spruce forests , white moss-pine forests and spruce-bog forests , also in hornbeam-oak forests and mixed oak and oak forests. It can also be found in spruce and pine forests as well as in parks.

Usually it occurs on dry to moderately fresh, loose, sandy to loamy, rather (moderately) acidic soils. It can also be found over sands that are not too base-poor, crystalline primary rock and over gypsum, marl or lime. However, the species is only found above lime in places where a sufficiently thick layer of humus could develop due to suitable conditions. Such conditions are often found in woodruff beech forests as well as in expressions of the bedstraw pine forest .

The pigeons, which can be found from the lowlands to the middle mountain region, appear from late July to October.

distribution

European countries with found evidence of the black tarnishing Täubling.
Legend:
  • Countries with found reports

  • non-European countries
  • The black tarnishing deafblings is a Holarctic species that occurs in North Asia (Caucasus, East Siberia, Japan) in North America (USA, Canada), in North Africa (Morocco) and in Europe. You can also find them in the southern hemisphere in Australia. The following table lists the countries in which the Täubling was reliably detected. The species is probably much more widespread.

    In Germany the Täubling occurs loosely from Holstein to the foothills of the Alps, but it is quite rare everywhere. The deafblings are not common in Switzerland either.

    Systematics

    The scientific species attribute ( epithet ) " albonigra " is derived from the Latin adjectives " albus " (white) and " niger " (black) and is an allusion to the young white and, with age, coal-black fruiting bodies.

    Inquirerous classification

    The blackening deafblings belongs to the sub-genus Compactae and here in the subsection Nigricantinae , in which the deafblings are summarized, the flesh of which turns red, gray or blackened when injured. It is closely related to the dense-leaved black-deaf ( Russula densifolia ) and the smoky-brown black-deaf ( Russula adusta ).

    Forms and varieties

    • Russula albonigra var. Pseudonigricans ( Romagn. ) Bon (1988)
    The Täubling was originally described as a shape by Romagnesi before Bon upgraded it to a variety. The sepia to brown-gray hat is 7–9 cm wide and has no bumps. The hat skin is silky and shiny and cannot be removed. The rather dense lamellae redden when injured, before blackening. The hard meat has a mild, non-menthol taste. In the cut it reddens quickly before slowly blackening. The fungus is found in deciduous forests.

    meaning

    The black tarnish pigeon is considered edible when young, but its taste is so inferior that many authors describe it as inedible.
