Mycena epipterygia (Scop.: Fr.) Gray, syn.: Mycena viscosa Maire, Mycena citrinella (Pers.: Fr.) KummerYellowleg Bonnet, DE: Dehnbarer Helmling, berhuteter HelmlingSlo.: prevleena eladicaDat.: Oct. 22. 2015Lat.: 46.40463 Long.: 13.70942Code: Bot_922/2015_DSC9561Picture file names: from Mycena-epipterygia_raw_1 to Mycena-epipterygia_raw_6.Habitat: mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant trees; among mosses, flat terrain, calcareous ground, moist place, in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, elevation 960 m (3.150 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil, small, rotten branches, leaf and needles litter.Place: Zadnja Trenta valley, 50 m northwest of the final parking place of the access road to Zapodn place, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: There are hundreds of species and lower level taxa of genus Mycena described in the literature. The species of this genus are all but simple for determination. Taxonomy is not yet settled and is constantly changing. However, Mycena epipterygia is relatively easy to spot and recognized. It is a common fungus and its characteristic elastic and removable hut cutis and lightly yellowish (with green tint in this case) and like half translucent appearing stipe are reasonably reliable traits for an amateur determination. A good test is also as follows: after one breaks its hollow stipe into two parts, both parts remain connected with a rubbery, elastic cuticle. Nevertheless this species is highly variable in color, size, spore width and other characteristics. In this observation the mushrooms were growing scattered solitary and in small groups of a few fruit bodies, altogether 12-15 pilei on a few m2 of forest ground; pilei diameter 8 - 12 mm, stipe 5 - 8 cm long and 1 - 1.8 mm in diameter, stipe hollow and covered with a thin elastic cuticle like pilei; taste and smell unpleasant, weakly on soap?; SP too weak to enable reliable color determination, possibly whitish.Spores smooth. Dimensions: 8 [8.8 ; 9.3] 10.1 x 5.3 [6 ; 6.5] 7.2 microns; Q = 1.3 [1.4 ; 1.5] 1.6; N = 20; C = 95%; Me = 9 x 6.2 microns; Olympus CH20, NEA 100x/1.25, magnification 1.000 x, oil, in water.

Peltigera canina (L.) Willd., syn.: Peltigera ulorrhiza (Flrke) Roum., Peltophora canina (L.) Clem, Pulmonaria terrestris Bory. Family: PeltigeraceaeEN: Dog Lichen, DE: Echte HundsflechteSlo.: pasji liajDat.: Oct. 12. 2021Lat.: 46.34956 Long.: 13.69225Code: Bot_1412/2021_4602Habitat: River bank, light mixed forest, at the base of a steep mountain, northeast aspect, locally almost flat terrain, calcareous ground, partly in shade, relatively cold and humid air place, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevations 525 m (1.720 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: a medium size calcareous, moss overgrown boulder.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, left bank of river Soa, next to Soa trail, near Trenta 46 farmhouse, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments (pertain to pictures of Flicker album Peltigera canina): Dog lichens (genus Peltigera sp.) are large folios lichens, which often form extensive patches on ground, rocks or grassland. They grow mostly in woods but one can find them also on open places. Particularly the green ones are beautiful when moist and richly developed. To recognize them on genus level is not at all a problem. However, to determine them correctly (particularly gray-brown ones) on species level is sometimes quite a challenge, more so, if the thali are sterile that is without apothecia. The large difference in their appearance between being in dry or moist state are often striking. So, wrong determinations are quite common. Peltigera canina is a species, which is frequently confused with others, most often with very similar (and much more frequent) Peltigera membranacea. Peltigera canina can be distinguished from other species by irregular, shaggy, markedly bushy, confluent at the base, white rhizines and fuzzy tomentum on the upper side of the lobes. The underside has flattened, smooth and whitish veins (except sometimes in the middle of the thallus where they may be darker). Quite rare, roundish and very dark brown to black apothecia are also typical. Richly branched, woolly rhizines are most diagnostic (Ref.:1.) (see Fig.3a.). However, this rhizines form is not the only one present. Often several other shapes, including those common to Peltigera membranacea, are present or even dominant. Yet, no other Peltigera species has rhizines of this typical appearance than Peltigera canina.The lichen was one time used to treat rabies because the rhizines supposedly look like dogs' teeth (Ref.:4.).Ref.:(1) C.W.Smith, et all, The lichens of Great Britain and Ireland,The British Lichen Society (2009), p 667.(2) I.M.

Hydnellum ferrugineum (Fr.) P. Karst... or a very close species fruiting in pine-needle floor parts of our pine forest. These fungi are very unusual and beautiful with their velvety rust-coloured surface and cranberry-juice-like drops of metabolic liquid. Small twigs and debris are often incorporated in the fruitbody as it grows.
