Substratum: transversally cut surface of a Picea abies log; log lying on ground; in its late initial decaying stage. Comments: Growing in two groups of about ten pilei; pilei up to 9 x 3 cm large about 1 cm thick (6 mm trama and 4 mm pore layer); 2 - 3 lamellae/mm at the edge of the pilei; smell mild, lightly mushroomy; taste distinctly mushroomy, slightly unpleasant; 5% KOH on trama instantly black with slightly deep violet-red tint; fresh pilei tough but somewhat pliant, too firm to be broken in two pieces by hand; 5% KOH on pore surface black, slower than on trama; SP faint apparently whitish-ocher-brown, oac858 (?). Gloeophyllum trabeum is more common on broadleaved wood, but is not infrequent also on conifers. Spores smooth.

Slo.: hojeva tramovka - Habitat: Steep, rocky mountain slope, open rocks and light mixed wood, Ostrya carprinifolia, Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica, Fraxinus ornus, Corylus avellana dominant trees, calcareous ground, warm, dry, wind exposed place, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 655 m (2.150 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: dead, debarked, partly still standing, partly loosely lying on ground, trunk of Picea abies in its initial stage of disintegration. - Comments: Four species of the genus Gloeophyllum have been reported in Slovenia: G. odoratum, G. separium, G. abietinum and G. trabeum. Far the most common is G. odoratum. It is one of the most frequent Polypores in my region. Number of my observations goes in several ten. G. separium follows, while both others are much, much rarer. This observation is my first find of G. abietinum, while I haven't yet found G. trabeum. Literature states G. abietinum to be rare or very rare in Britain and Europe in general, while Ref.:(3) states it is common in CH. Rivarden and Bernicchia say it is a perennial species, while Breitenbach and Krieglsteiner consider it as an annual species. Also there are two writings of genus name in use - Gloeophyllum and Gloephyllum. Index Fungorum uses the first one. - Growing in groups of many pilei; their dimensions up to 4 x 2 cm, quite thick at the base, pore layer thicker than context; smell distinctive, on leather or tobacco; taste mild, slightly bitter after a while; context tough, fibrous; SP faint whitish-ochre, oac858 (?). - Spores smooth.
