The Blackfoot polyporus ( Picipes melanopus ) is a species of fungus from the family of Stielporlingsverwandten .

features

The black-footed stem porling forms fruiting bodies with a diameter of 2–10 cm, divided into a hat and a stem. The hats of the species are convex to flattened and slightly funnel-shaped, with a smooth, very fine, velvety surface that later becomes bald. The color of the top of the hat is cinnamon to gray-brown, often water-stained when fresh. The underside of the hat is covered with fine (3–4 pores per mm), white to brownish, irregularly round pores that run down the stem. The stem is cylindrical, 1.5–5.5 cm long and 3–15 mm thick, smooth to longitudinally wrinkled (the longitudinal grooves appear at the latest when drying) and olive-brown, the stem color is sharply demarcated from the pores.

Species delimitation

The much rarer black-footed stem porling is sometimes difficult to distinguish macroscopically from the similar and closely related species of Maroon and Lion's Yellow Porling . The chestnut brown Porling has a greasy, shiny hat and, as a microscopic feature, hyphae without buckles, the lion yellow Porling has a more black stem without longitudinal grooves and usually a lighter hat. The rare Picipes tubaeformis has a funnel-shaped hat that turns reddish brown with age. All three species grow on wood.

ecology

The black-footed stalk sprout appears to grow on the ground, but is a saprobiont that causes white rot and grows on wood of deciduous, more rarely coniferous, buried in the ground. It can also grow parasitically on the roots of deciduous trees. In Central Europe, the common beech is the preferred substrate. It grows in beech, fir-beech and fir forests on alkaline, mostly limestone soils.

distribution

The species was found in Australia, Tasmania and Samoa, it is distributed in the northern hemisphere in warm-temperate, temperate to the southern boreal areas. In North America, the southern tip of Greenland is reached. Occurring in Europe from the northern Mediterranean to the Shetland Islands, central Scandinavia and northwestern Russia, but not often. In Germany it is mainly scattered in the hilly and lower mountain regions.
