Cinnamon-colored soft sponge ( Hapalopilus nidulans )

Systematics
Class : Agaricomycetes
Subclass : insecure position (incertae sedis)
Order : Stalk porlings (Polyporales)
Family : Stalk porling relatives (Polyporaceae)
Genre : Soft spores ( Hapalopilus )
Type : Cinnamon-colored soft pork
Scientific name
Hapalopilus nidulans
( Fr. ) P. Karst.

The cinnamon-colored soft pork ( Hapalopilus nidulans , syn. Hapalopilus rutilans ) is a species from the family of stem pork relatives (Polyporaceae). In Germany it grows preferentially on dead wood of oaks and hazelnuts and likes to develop ocher to cinnamon-brown fruiting bodies at lofty heights. The fungus is poisonous (polyporic acid syndrome).

Macroscopic features

The annual fruiting bodies are console-shaped or shell-shaped, have sharp and entire margins, rarely lie completely flat on the substrate and grow in rows or roof tiles one above the other. They protrude 2 to 5 cm from the wood, are 3 to 12 a maximum of 18 cm wide and up to 4 cm thick at the base. The cross-section is often triangular. Fresh, the Trama is soft and watery, when it is dry it fades, becomes very light and has a fibrous, corky, somewhat brittle consistency. The initially finely downy to rough upper side soon becomes bald and usually shows no or sometimes a few broad, slightly furrowed zones, the inner ones usually being smoother than the outer ones. The top is not covered by any crust. On the underside there are 2 to 4 angular and thin-walled tubes per millimeter. The layer can be up to 10 mm thick and appears ocher to whitish due to the cotton-like and sterile hyphae. The other parts of the fruit body are yellow to cinnamon brown, the top is usually darker. The pore surface of larger fruit bodies often has large cracks.

With alkalis ( NaOH , KOH , NH 4 OH ), all parts of the fruit body react violet, including dry matter. F. Kögl reported on the resulting dye, which was described by C. Stahlschmidt in 1877 in the Zeitschrift für Pilzkunde (1926). From 1.5 g of the fungus he crystallized 0.269 g of violet polyporic acid , a diphenyldioxyquinone.

Microscopic features

The hyphae system of the cinnamon-colored soft pore is monomitic. The generative hyphae are colorless and have buckles . In the Trama they are large, up to 10 µm wide, clearly thick-walled and richly branched. The hyphae are mostly smooth, but also partly with misshapen substances mixed with polygonal, light pink to brownish colored crystals. In contrast, the tramaic and subhymenial hyphae are smoother and narrower, up to 6 µm in diameter. There are no cystids . However, spindle-shaped cystidiols can occur. They are 18 to 22 µm long, 4 to 5 µm wide and have basal buckles. The club-shaped basidia also have buckles on the base and measure 18 to 22 µm in length and 4 to 5 µm in width. 4 spores mature per basidie  . They are elliptical to cylindrical in shape, colorless, thin-walled and smooth. Their size is 3.5 to 5 by 2 to 2.5 and a maximum of 3 µm. The iodine color reaction in Melzer's reagent is negative.

ecology

The cinnamon-colored soft sponge grows on dead hardwood such as maple, apple, birch, beech, mountain ash, oak, alder, ash, hornbeam, hazel, elder, linden, prunus species, robinia, horse chestnut and willow. The fungus rarely colonizes softwood such as fir, spruce and pine. In Northern Europe, the species is found mainly on hazel and mountain ash, in Central Europe it is mainly found on oak. Beech, spruce, hazel and silver fir have proven to be the main hosts in Baden-Württemberg. In Bavaria the preference is for oak and hazel. But it is questionable whether the Bavarian silver fir stocks have been investigated sufficiently intensively to achieve a representative result in this regard.

The fruiting bodies sporulate from the end of midsummer until the next spring. When the humidity is below 40 percent and temperatures are lower, the spore production decreases.

distribution

The cinnamon-colored soft pork is distributed meridional to boreal in the Holarctic. In Asia, finds from China, Iran, Japan, Kamchatka, the Caucasus and Siberia are known. In North America, evidence exists from Canada and the United States. The fungus is also found in North Africa and the mountainous regions of Central and South Africa. In Europe, finds have been reported from almost all countries, only Ireland seems to be missing the species. To the north, the Porling is widespread as far as the Hebrides and Scandinavia; in Norway, the occurrence extends up to the 70th parallel. In Germany, reports of finds extend from the Danish border and the Frisian islands to the foothills of the Alps. The cinnamon-colored soft pork is widespread overall, but with different densities. The fungus is only rarely found in higher mountain areas and coniferous forest regions influenced by the subcontinental.

meaning

Polyporic acid syndrome

The cinnamon-colored soft pork is poisonous. The polyporic acid contained in the fruit bodies leads to central nervous disorders, visual disturbances and vomiting after a latency period of 12 hours. A striking symptom after consumption is the passing of purple-colored urine. To date, a single collective poisoning involving 3 people has been known and documented.
