LadoEN: Yellow-Fuzz Cone Slime, DE: Gelber ScheinhaarstublingSlo.: kitajska zlatovkaDat.: Oct. 5. 2009Lat.: 46.33439 Long.: 13.48114Code: Bot_388/2009_DSC5885Habitat: Mixed, predominantly Fagus sylvatica forest, in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~3.000 mm/year, average temperature 3 -5 deg C, elevation 1.330 m (4.400 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: fallen, heavily rotted trunk of a deciduous tree, probably Fagus sylvatica. Place: Bovec basin, Gozdec forest, above the road from Mt.Kanin cable car station B to the foot of Mt. Kopa, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: There was no microscopy done for this observation, hence the determination is unreliable. Myxomycetes pass through very different shapes and colors during development of their sporocarps. In most cases it is impossible to determine them to species level without microscopic observation of their spores and structure, at least for me. These pictures show immature sporocarps. Sporocysts have not yet opened, capillitium and spore mass are not yet visible. Also stalks are mostly not yet developed. This makes determination even more difficult. Nevertheless, the size and the shape of the oldest sporocarps and stalks with reddish tint points toward Hemitrichia clavata. But, it is possible that the pictures show other Hemitrichia or Trichia species like similar Trichia decipiens or Hemitrichia calyculata. Picture #10 shows eventually another species. On picture #8 one can see also two species of (probably) Ascomycetes - a larger jelly fungus and smaller black blobs (both lower left). What a picturesque life one can find just on a small piece of rotten wood! A white 'mycelium' shown on the same picture (and others - upper left) probably belongs to another kind of fungus. Although Hemitrichia clavata has white plasmodium these fibers don't seem to me to be its plasmodium. Ref.:(1) B. Ing, The Myxomycetes of Britain and Ireland,The Richmond Publ.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get very close to this log. It was on the other side of the track's fence. The log had a lot of interesting things on it, including this lovely red-brown slime mould. There were also some very tiny yellowish cup fungi on the side of the log that I really would have liked to have a closer look at. There was also an interesting Campanella species. Sigh.

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.

Comment: Three aethaila found in a circle of about 0.4 m diameter.
