The splendid root cupling or monochrome root cupling ( Sowerbyella imperialis , syn. Sowerbyella unicolor ) is a hose fungus from the family of fire pillow relatives .

features

Macroscopic features

The stalked fruiting bodies have a diameter of 5–50, occasionally up to 70 mm. They are flat bowl to bowl-shaped. The stem is largely hidden in the ground and is slightly wrinkled , especially in the lower part due to mycelial fibers . The inside with the fruit layer is orange-yellow to yolk yellow, the outside is pale lemon-yellow, in wet weather almost the same color as the fruit layer. The consistency is a bit elastic.

Microscopic features

The hoses are cylindrical. The paraphyses are thread-like and straight, but partly forked. The elliptical, translucent , fine-black spores are 11–15 × 5.5–7.5 µm in size, depending on the author. They have a drop or two of oil.

Species delimitation

The common root cupling ( Sowerbyella radiculata ) has a rather ocher-colored outside and a straw- to dull yellow fruit layer. It has coarse-black spores and its paraphyses are curved at the tip. It grows mainly in coniferous forests in the litter layer. Other similar species have only been observed a few times and are hardly known.

ecology

The Magnificent Wurzelkecherling lives in deciduous and coniferous forests on lime, especially under spruce trees. It is quite rare and mainly grows in autumn.

distribution

The splendid root cup can be found in Europe, especially in Scandinavia and North America. It seems to be quite rare.

Systematics

The magnificent root cup was first described in 1878 by Charles Horton Peck as Peziza imperialis . In 1971 the species was put to Sowerbyella by Richard Paul Korf .
