The root carvings ( Phaeocollybia ) are leaf mushrooms with a turnip habit and a root-like stem that extends deep into the ground. Their spore powder has the rust-brown color that is typical for veil relatives.

The type species is the thick-fleshed root carving ( Phaeocollybia lugubris ).

Macroscopic features

Root carvings usually form medium-sized fruit bodies with a turnip-like habit , which often have a pointed hunched hat and a more or less cartilaginous, often deep-rooted stalk ("pseudorhiza" = false root). The hat is dry, glabrous and smooth, when damp, however, greasy to slimy - even if sometimes only weakly - and hygrophan . The lamellas are attached to the stem or almost free. They are pale waxy in color or rarely purple-brown and take on a rust-brown color with age due to the spore powder. The velum is either missing or there are tires. The odor spectrum ranges from neutral to flour or radish-like to a clear bitter almond aroma.

Microscopic features

The hat skin of the root carvings consists of lying, thin, thread-like and mostly somewhat gelatinized hyphae . Buckles on the hyphae septa are present or absent. The lamellar trama is set up regularly. On the cutting edges there are thread-shaped, cylindrical or spindle-shaped cystids, often with a long neck and head-shaped end . In older fruit bodies, they are strongly bonded and therefore difficult to prepare. Elliptical, spindle-shaped or almond-shaped, rarely also lemon-shaped spores ripen on the basidia . They have a dotted to warty surface and apart from one type (inconspicuous there) have no apical germ pore . On the cortex of the false root sit tibiiform (= similar to the shin bone) caulocystids.

ecology

The species of the genus are considered to be root parasites bound to conifers, mostly spruce , but also hardwoods such as beech , oak and hornbeam .

distribution

The occurrence of the root carvings in Germany is concentrated in the areas south of the 52nd parallel, the federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.
