Description:

Neoantrodia serialis (Fr.) Audet, syn.: Antrodia serialis (Fr.) Donk, Coriolellus callosus (Fr.) M.P. Christ., Trametes serialis (Fr.) Fr., Daedalea serialis (Fr.) AoshimaEN: Serried Porecrust, DE: Reihige TrameteSlo.: vrstna trhlicaDat.: Nov. 28. 2018Lat.: 46.366325 Long.: 13.723052Code: Bot_1167/2018_DSC05248Habitat: light, mixed predominantly conifer wood, Picea abies dominant with intermixed Fagus sylvatica; slightly inclined mountain slope, northwest aspect; near river bed; humid and mostly shady place; exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-8 deg C, elevation 575 m (1.900 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: heavily rotten stump of a larger Picea abies.Place: Lower Trenta valley, next to Soa trail, left bank of river Soa, between farm house Faar and Maselc, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comments: Neoantrodia serialis is a quite common and conspicuous polypore, sometimes forming large basidiocarps, which can extend up to 2 m in length (Ref.: 1). It is quite variable in habit, sometimes forming large groups of small crowded pilei, sometimes it is almost without them. When growing resupinate it can be very similar to Heterobasidion annosum and only microscopy of spores can separate both with confidence. Two largely effused-reflexed fruit bodies were present; larger basidiocarp's dimension 20 x 7 cm, trama leathery up to 3 mm thick, tubes on vertical parts up to 4-5 mm long; pilei up to 22 x 7 mm and up to 6 mm off the substratum, often confluent; taste mild, mushroomy, slightly unpleasant, long lasting; smell mild, pleasant; SP none (no spores found too young basidiocarps?).Herbarium: Index Herbariorum LJF @ Mycotheca and lichen herbarium of Slovenian Forestry Institute.Ref.: (1) G.J.
