Vitus SchäfftleinHello, I found Trochila ilicina on Ilex aquifoliu
Hello everyone,
In the forest on the sandy soil under deciduous trees, I found this little ear-like toadstools. They were 1-2 cm larg with a split and a rougher outside. The measure of the spores were 10-13 x 5-6 mu. I have tried the key Ascofrance, but I did not come out. Does anyone have a suggestion for me?
Thanks
Hannie
Hi there,
I would say young O. onotica. The spores are a bit too narrow, the shape in the photo looks fine. Another thing that one can try is the reaction in KOH of the tomentum at the base of the apothecia, which should turn yellow. This is rather unusual in Otidea.
Cheers,
Ibai.
Thanks for the tip Ibai. I will try.
greetings Hannie
