late fall-oyster

Description:

The late fall-oyster is 30-10 centimeters wide, shell-, fan-shaped or tongue-wide fruiting bodies that grow individually with a side handle to tufted or imbricated on wood. The top of the hats is smooth, slippery when wet and slimy, dry feinsamtig, to stick to faserschuppig. The color is very variable and can range from light green, olive-yellow to reddish-olive go. The brim is curled young, sharp and slightly grooved on older specimens. The young, cream-colored, later cream to ocher-colored slats are wide and the stem are narrower toward the edge. The spore powder is white. The short, tapered stem is dotted in saffron yellow ocher to dark scaly base (translated from german wikipedia) -- The fruit bodies of Panellus species are small- to medium-sized, and pleurotoid, meaning they grow on wood, have gills, and usually form semicircular or kidney-shaped caps that may be either directly attached to the wood, or connected by short stipes. The stipe is usually connected to the side of the cap, or off-center. The gills on the underside of the cap usually radiate ourward from the attachment point, or may be strongly interveined to form a reticulum.[

Habitat:

The late fall-oyster is found in the Holarctic in boreal regions of the Mediterranean to north he goes to Greenland and northern Europe until the 69th Degree of latitude. In Germany the species is widespread, but shows irregularities in the regional incidence (translated from german wikipedia) --- ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcomyxa_s... )

Notes:

i almost didn't see them, so green as the moss beneath. but after be aware of the presents of this oyster, they began to appear everywhere on the log. The little yellow ones are "young ones/conks". I have more nice picture of matured specimen, but i have sacrified these space for the young specimen.!! --- edible , almost as good as real oyster-mushroom
