The crested tintling ( Coprinus comatus ), also called asparagus mushroom , porcelain tinting , ink mushroom or incorrectly known as the tinted mushroom , is a type of mushroom from the mushroom relatives . It is native to Europe, often and when young it is an excellent, albeit not very durable, edible mushroom , because old specimens melt into an ink-like liquid. The species can be cultivated, in the trade, for example, grain spawn is offered that is streaked with mushrooms .

features

Macroscopic features

The hat is 5–10 cm high and 3–6 cm wide. In young specimens, the hat is egg-shaped to cylindrical, with increasing age it opens and gradually becomes bell-shaped. The initially almost pure white, only slightly beige to pink at the edge and reddish to brownish at the tip, tears up into scales as it grows. The flesh is white and thin. The lamellae are initially invisible due to the shape of the hat, white when young, later pink. With age, the hat and lamellae dissolve in an ink-like liquid. This process is an autolysis . This quirk is a method of spreading spurs . These drip off with the liquid, but are also spread as dust by air movements. The bulbous, scaled, longitudinally fibrous stalk is white, 1–2 cm in diameter and has a narrow, membranous and ungrown ring.

Microscopic features

The spores are elliptical, 10-15 x 7-8 micrometers , opaque, black and have a fissure.

Species delimitation

There may be a risk of confusion with the edible wrinkle tintling ( Coprinus atramentarius ), which, however , leads to symptoms of poisoning in connection with the consumption of alcoholic beverages .

Ecology and phenology

The Schopf-Tintling occurs on roadsides and in meadows . In habitat city it is one of the most characteristic mushrooms, often in large groups on fertilized lawns in the middle of residential settlements grows. The species lives saprotrophic and nematophagous , so it can capture and digest small roundworms (nematodes). For this purpose, the crustacean forms trapping organs on its mycelium living in the ground, small spherical structures with thorny outgrowths, with the help of which it excretes a toxin that makes nematodes immobile. The nematodes are finally colonized by hyphae of the intestine and digested within a few days.

The fruiting bodies appear from April until well into November; in Central Europe, fructification reaches its peak in September.

distribution

The crested tintling is widespread throughout the northern hemisphere .

meaning

The Schopftintling is considered a good edible mushroom when young - as long as the hat is not yet spread out and the lamellae are still white or pink. It has a delicate consistency and a mild aroma. The mushroom has to be used very quickly, as even young specimens soon melt away in ink after harvest and are then no longer edible. In combination with alcohol, the baby inks can have a mildly toxic effect ( Coprinus syndrome ).
