The blackening crater Elle ( Craterellus melanoxeros , Syn. : Cantharellus melanoxeros ) is a fungal art from the family of Cantharellaceae.

features

Younger fruiting bodies of the blackening craters often show no discoloration.

The 3–10 cm high fruiting bodies of the blackening craters sometimes appear in groups from one stem or are even fused together on the hats. The hats are 2–7 cm wide, initially flat and later become funnel-shaped. Their color is yellow-ocher to ocher-brown, the flesh is 1–4 cm thick and whitish to slightly pink in color. The stem is full when young and becomes hollow when it is older. The underside of the hat is wavy to wrinkled when young, later sharply ribbed when fully developed. The ridges are forked and cross-veined. The fruit layer is light pink when young and becomes light gray-purple in older specimens. The species turns black on pressure.

ecology

Like the other craterellus is the way a mycorrhizal -Pilz that with deciduous trees, especially the copper beech forms symbioses. The blackening chanterelle prefers somewhat warm locations in summer on neutral to alkaline, but nutrient-poor brown earth over lime , marl or base-rich silicates .

distribution

The blackening crater occurs in Western and Central Europe. In Germany it occurs only in Bavaria , Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg .

Population development and endangerment

The species has always been rare; their locations are primarily endangered by acidification and nutrient enrichment. For Baden-Württemberg, Krieglsteiner gives the loss of around 50% of the previously known deposits. The species is classified in risk group 2 ("endangered").

meaning

The blackening crater is edible, but because of its rarity it is definitely worth taking care of.
