The Trametes pubescens ( Trametes pubescens ) is a species of fungus from the genus of the Real Trameten .
features
The Velvet Tramete forms 3–10 cm wide, thin, fan-shaped fruit bodies with a sharp outer edge, which stand together in large groups like roof tiles. The fruit bodies are initially pure white in color, but with age they become cream-colored to light gray-ocher. When drying, the fruit bodies become quite light and brittle, the color changes to yellow. The upper side is matt and hairy with fine velvet with indicated zoning, the short, white to cream-colored tubes are on the underside. At 3–4 per mm, the Velvet Tramete has relatively fine, rounded, angular pores.
ecology
The velvety tramete is a saprobiontic wood dweller that produces white rot in the affected wood. Dead standing and lying trunks and branches that may still be barked or have already lost the bark are colonized. The species colonizes hardwoods, primarily alder , birch and beech . The fruiting bodies appear all year round. The velvety tramete occurs mainly in air- and soil-moist deciduous forests that can be periodically or spontaneously flooded, such as swamp and alluvial forests, willow bushes or shady and moist deciduous forests, occasionally also in parks.
distribution
The Velvety Tramete occurs in Asia from Siberia to Pakistan and India, east to Korea and in the USA and Canada. In Africa it was found in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya. In Europe, the species occurs in the temperate and boreal regions. The species is very rare in Germany and only more common in the Alpine and foothills of the Alps.
meaning
The Velvet Tramete is not an edible mushroom; as a wood pest it hardly appears.
