The violet-leaved dwarf ball ( Panellus violaceofulvus syn. Pleurotus violaceofulvus ) is a type of mushroom from the family of helmets relatives (Mycenaceae).
features
The gregarious, ball-shaped or roof-tile-like fruiting bodies of the violet-leaved oyster mushroom have a diameter of 8 to 25 mm. They are hemispherical-hood-shaped when young, spread out and conch-shaped when they are older. The stalk is extremely rudimentary, mostly the fruiting bodies sit on the bark without a stalk, on the underside of the substrate they are attached to the substrate with the apex (resupinat). Its surface is from black to brown-violet basic color and covered with white felt, it is matt and dry, the top of the hat is often frosted with white. The brim of the hats is smooth. The lamellae are wide, they converge concentrically towards the point of growth, their color is light cream when young and later turns purple-brown. The spore powder is white.
ecology
The violet-leaved oyster mushroom is a saprobiontic inhabitant of dead coniferous wood and mainly colonizes lying or still attached dead branches and twigs (brushwood piles) and trunks. The preferred substrate is silver fir ; it is much less common on spruce and pine . Gminder and Krieglsteiner describe the violet oyster mushroom as a "character species of the 'species-rich mixed mountain forests'", populating the montane red beech, silver fir and silver fir forests, and acidic spruce and silver fir forests.
distribution
The species occurs in North Asia (Caucasus) and Europe. In Europe it is widespread in the area of the Carpathian Mountains and the Alps, it is found in Romania, eastern France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and southern Poland. In Germany it occurs only in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.
meaning
The purple-leaved oyster mushroom is unsuitable as an edible mushroom, as it is not of forestry importance as a wood destroyer.
