Ramaria flava var. flava (Schaeff.) Qul., syn.: Clavaria flava Schaeff., Ramaria flavobrunnescens var. aurea (Coker) CornerChangle, DE: Gelbe Koralle, Zitronengelbe Koralle, Schwefelgelbe Koralle, Gelber KorallenpilzSlo.: rumena grivaDat.: Sept. 13. 2017Lat.: 46.36007 Long.: 13.70385Code: Bot_1088/2017_DSC9015Habitat: moderately inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; Fagus sylvatica forest; calcareous ground; in shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; elevation 580 m (1.900 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: forest soil covered by thick layer of rotten Fagus sylvatica leaves.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa; between villages Soa and Trenta; between Trenta 2b cottage and Trenta 2 farmhouse, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Ramaria flava var. flava seems to be a rather common Ramaria in Slovenia But experts believe that often, judged on habitus only, other yellow Ramaria species are misidentified as R. flava. According to Christan (2008), it is mycorrhizal with Fagus sylvatica in contrast to very similar Ramaria flava var. scandinavica = Ramaria obtusissima var. scandinavica Petersen, which is associated with Picea sp. Nevertheless, Index Fungorum does not recognize both names as current names. Two sporocarps found, the larger 14 x 13 cm and 12 cm tall; does not change color when handled, after longer time slowly discolors and gets darker and more ochre; smell lightly acid, on mold; taste mild but specific, lightly nitrous(?), unpleasant; SP abundant, ocher, oac847.Spores almost smooth in profile but shallowly warty. (9,9) 10,4 - 11,6 (11,9) x (3,8) 4,2 - 4,7 (5) microns; Q = (2,2) 2,3 - 2,7 (3); N = 35; Me = 10,9 x 4,4 microns; Qe = 2,5. Basidia dimensions: (38) 41,6 - 52,8 (53,3) x (8,2) 9,1 - 11,1 (12,5) microns; Q = (3,9) 4 - 5 (5,5); N = 18; Me = 46 x 10,2 microns; Qe = 4,5. Hypha with clamps but also simple septa present (this fits to the description in Ref.1).

I rarely find something, which would perfectly fit to the books. However this observation seems quite reliable, because of typical habitat, substratum and habitus. In addition spores fit expectations too.

Known as the Red Coral Fungus or as Carmine Coral.

Also known as the Carmine Coral, it does not stain on bruising. Found in the Pacific Northwest of North America under Hemlock.

A large mushroom found in the mountains of Western North America. Photo taken to show unusual patterns of the ribs.

Ramaria longispora Marr.& StuntzSlo.: dolgospora griva (?)Dat.: Sept. 12. 2014Lat.: 46.36660 Long.: 13.74820Code: Bot_836/2012_DSC4012Habitat: light mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant, locally under canopies of dense stand of young Picea abies; in shade, no ground vegetations; moderately incline mountain slope, northwest aspect; calcareous ground; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, elevation 935 m (3.070 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil covered by a layer of fallen off needles of Picea abies.Place: Spodnja Trenta valley, next to the trail from Trenta village to Trebiki dol; about half way from Planina Krotica to Planina Lepo, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comments: Ramaria longispora was originally described as a fungus of the Pacific Northwestern United States in 1973. For decades it hasn't been recorded in Europe. However, Christan (2008) (Ref.2.) described it as present also in Europe in 2008. Also Hagar (2015) (Ref.:3.) is mentioning finds in Europe. Recently done mycological survey of the region of Triglav National Park, Slovenia revealed several finds in east Julian Alps (Ref.:4.). It has been found in four UTM sub-squares of this region so far.The traits of this find fit well to literature. This species is macroscopically easy to confuse with small fruit bodies of Ramaria largentii. But Ramaria largentii has clamped basidia and hypha and somewhat smaller spores. I was unable to find clamps. Spore and basidia dimensions fit very well to literature, as well as relatively long sterigmata (average 8 microns). Also a few exceptionally long and deformed spores, which are characteristically produced by Ramaria longispora (Ref.:2) have been observed. One is shown on Picture 1M (arrow).Growing solitary; fruit body dimensions: 6 cm tall and 3.5 cm wide; stipe solid, not branched up to 2.5 cm height and about 2 cm in diameter; smell mild, pleasant, fresh, on fruits (?); taste mild pleasant, mushroomy, not bitter; SP faint, pale ocher-yellow, oac806 (?), color uncertain.Spores warty.
