The blackening porling , hazel porling or the blackening tramete ( Dichomitus campestris ) is a type of mushroom from the family of stem porling relatives .

features

The fruiting bodies of the blackening porling are cushion-shaped or resupinainat, (lying flat against the substrate), 3–5 cm in diameter, 5–10 mm thick and completely covered with tubes (tubes of the upper side sterile). The pores are irregular, polygonal in shape and irregular in size. The length of the tubes is 1-3 mm, in perennial specimens the tubes are layered. The underside of the fruiting body is cream to light wood-colored, the edge quickly becomes blackish.

ecology

The blackening porling is a saprophytic wood dweller ( white rot pathogen ) that colonizes dead, mostly still standing trunks, mainly of hazel and oak species . It can be found all year round in hazel bushes and forests, hornbeam-oak forests, hardwood meadows and mixed oak forests in need of warmer conditions. The fruiting bodies are annual to perennial.

distribution

The blackening Haselporling occurs in the Caucasus, North America, Western (Spain, Portugal, France - oak as the preferred substrate there), Central and Northern Europe (up to the Hebrides and in Norway up to the 70th parallel), in Eastern Europe from the Balkans to the Ukraine and in southern Russia.

meaning

Because of the tough, corky fruiting bodies, the blackening porling is out of the question as an edible mushroom. As a wood decomposer, it is also irrelevant from a forestry perspective.

Systematics

German Josef Krieglsteiner placed the species in the genus Polyporus due to its similar microscopic characteristics.
