features

Macroscopic features

The 4–20 cm wide hat is white to flesh colored when young, but soon becomes yellowish-greenish or brownish. It tears open on the surface, but can also remain smooth. It is very unevenly shaped. The hat skin is otherwise bare, dull and dry. On the underside is the thin, whitish layer of tubing that runs down the stem. The round mouths are small in contrast to the goat foot porling . The tube padding turns gray when it dries; it turns yellow when pressed. The full-fleshed stem is in the color of the hat and can be central or lateral. With age, it is possible that the base will turn gray-brown. The meat is crumbly and tender but tender. The originally white flesh turns yellow at the interfaces. The smell and taste are pleasantly mushroom.

Microscopic features

The spores are round, elliptical and smooth, with a drop of oil. They measure 3 to 5 × 3 to 4 micrometers, the spore powder is white.

Species delimitation

The sheep porling can be confused with the less common bread porling ( Albatrellus confluens ) and the yellow-green comb porling ( Laeticutis cristatus ). The Semmel-Porling differs from the Schaf-Porling in that it has a roll-colored hat and can taste bitter with age. The yellow-green comb porling has spores that are about twice as large.

ecology

As a suspected mycorrhizal fungus , the Schaf-Porling enters communities with conifers. Some authors also list him as a saprobiote . The fruiting bodies appear from July to October, depending on the climatic conditions even in winter. Mostly it grows in clusters in groups and rows. It grows mainly in the mountains under spruce or other conifers. The soil is preferably lime or silicate.

distribution

The Schafporling is common in central European mountain forests as well as in southern Scandinavia (Sweden, Finland). It is widespread in North America.

meaning

The sheep porling is edible, but not as tasty as the related goat's foot porling . In Germany it is protected under the Federal Species Protection Ordinance and may not be collected.
