The disc laurel ( Gyromitra ancilis , syn .: Discina perlata ) is a type of mushroom from the family of poison laurel relatives . The mushroom that grows on coniferous wood is characterized by cup-like , predominantly flat-spreading fruiting bodies , which is why it is also called the largest disk or shield-shaped disk.
features
Macroscopic features
The fruiting body, which consists of a disc that is spread out flat in the youth stage, becomes 3–15 cm wide and 2–4 cm high. The initially small and spherical, later bowl-like and then plate-like hat disc appears irregularly bent and lobed. The wrinkled, bumpy to pitted inside is gray-brown, tobacco-colored to brown-red, the outside appears whitish, pale pink to yellowish white. The very short stem is only 5–8 mm long and very thick. It is whitish and deeply furrowed with a knot-rib-like structure. The meat is whitish in color, brittle to slightly tough and has no specific smell or taste.
Microscopic features
The fruit layer ( hymenium ) is on the surface of the fruit body. The spores are elliptical, appear spindle-shaped by pointed appendages on both sides and measure 27–35 × 10–12 µm. They are transparent ( hyaline ) and have one large and two smaller oil droplets inside. Its surface is ornamented with fine warts . There are eight spores in each of the tubes ( asci ).
Species delimitation
The shield-shaped disc laurel ( G. parma ), which is also fructifying in spring, grows on hardwood and prefers locations in alluvial forests. The Morel Cupling ( Disciotis venosa ) also grows more in deciduous forests and also smells unpleasantly pungent like chlorine . Both types can be distinguished microscopically by their spores.
Ecology and phenology
The disc laurel grows as a saprobiont in spruce and pine forests. The fungus is often found on rotten wood and around tree stumps. The disk Lorchel appears preferentially in the mountain and hill country, in the lowlands the species is rare.
The fruiting bodies are formed in the spring from April to June.
