Cribraria vulgaris Schrad, syn.: Cribraria vulgaris var. genuina Rostaf., Cribraria vulgaris var. vulgaris Schrad. Date: June 15. 2009Lat.: 46.33506 Long.: 13.53008Code: Bot_356/2009-DSC0347Habitat: mixed wood in a mountain ravine, moderately inclined mountain slope, southwest aspect; cretaceous clastic rock (flysh); protected from direct rain by trees canopies and tall herbs, in shade, very humid place; precipitations ~3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, altitude 450 m (1.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: fallen, debarked and completely rotten deciduous tree trunk, hidden in tall herbs. Place: Bovec basin, west of Bovec, near the trail to Pluna village, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia ECComment: My initial tentative determination in 2009 Cribraria intricata was wrong. Based on new literature I've obtained the best fit seems to be Cibraria vulgaris. Fitting dimensions of sporocarps, distinct, well defined cup-shaped calyculus with irregular teeth, density of peridium mesh, color of sporangia and stalk tapering upwards, substratum and large colony speak in favor of this determination. Species has been already found in Slovenia (Ref.4) contrary to Cribraria intricata. However, determination with certainty would still require microscopic verification of traits. Unfortunately this hasn't been done.Ref: (1) B. Ing, The Myxomycetes of Britain and Ireland,The Richmond Publ.

Substratum: dead, thick, partly decorticated branch of Ostrya carpinifolia laying on ground; fund on top side of it; wood still firm, hard to cut; in its initial state of disintegration.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa; pasture west of Strgulc abandoned farm house, Soa 47, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: Three aethaila found in a circle of about 0.4 m diameter. This myxomicete can be recognized by its vividly pink (not yet mature) aethalia, white hypothallus, characteristic spores, which are distinctly reticulate only on about 2/3 of their surface and persistent pseudocapillitium consisting of membranous perforated plates and threads. Reticularia splendens var. jurana can be distinguished from Reticularia splendens var. splendens by smaller size of aethalia and flaccid cortex.To my knowledge this is the second or third find of this species in Slovenia and the first one in the Julian Alps. Spores coarsely reticulated on about 2/3 of their surface and minutely warted (barely seen with my equipment) on the rest of it; globose to subglobose.

Comment: Lycogala epidendrum is one of the most common and most easy to spot Myxomicete in the upper Soa river region. Immature aethalia are vividly orange and distinctly pop out from surrounding decaying wood. Contrary to this gray-brown mature aethalia blend well with the surrounding and require some effort to be found. Ref.:(1) B. Ing, The Myxomycetes of Britain and Ireland,The Richmond Publ.

This myxomicete can be recognized by its vividly pink (not yet mature) aethalia, white hypothallus, characteristic spores, which are distinctly reticulate only on about 2/3 of their surface and persistent pseudocapillitium consisting of membranous perforated plates and threads. Reticularia splendens var. jurana can be distinguished from Reticularia splendens var. splendens by smaller size of aethalia and flaccid cortex.To my knowledge this is the second or third find of this species in Slovenia and the first one in the Julian Alps. Spores coarsely reticulated on about 2/3 of their surface and minutely warted (barely seen with my equipment) on the rest of it; globose to subglobose. Dimensions (without reticule and warts): 6,3 [7 ; 7,2] 7,8 x 6,1 [6,8 ; 7] 7,6 microns; Q = 1 [1,0] 1,1; N = 40; C = 95%; Me = 7,1 x 6,9 microns; Qe = 1. Reticule > 1 micron high.
