Tapinella atrotomentosa (Batsch) utara, syn.: Paxillus atrotomentosus (Batsch.) FriesVelvet Rollrim, Velvet Pax, Velvet-footed Pax, DE.: SamtfusskremplingSlo.: ametna podvihankaDat.: Aug. 24. 2014Lat.: 46.36138 Long.: 13.70092Code: Bot_828/2014_DSC3095Habitat: mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant; moderately southeast inclined foot of a mountain; rather dry place, in shade; shallow, skeletal, calcareous ground, old overgrown scree slope; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 630 m (2.070 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: Picea abies stump in its final stage of disintegration.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa, above 'Na melu' place, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: Tapinella atrotomentosa is a cosmopolitan, relatively common species. Yet it is not frequently seen in my region. It is a striking, interesting mushroom with its large, mostly dark brown, velvety pileus and primarily by its thick, almost black and coarsely velvety stipe. Latin word 'atrotomentosus' translates to "black-haired". Nothing similar exists in our woods, therefore determination isn't difficult.In this observation it was growing solitary; pileus dimensions 16 x 12 cm, stipe 5 cm long and 3 cm thick; taste mildly mushroomy; smell mild, mushroomy, slightly on a perfume; flesh thick, brittle; SP light-ocher, oac814.Spores smooth. Dimensions: 4,4 [5,6 ; 6] 7,2 x 3,3 [3,7 ; 3,8] 4,2 microns, Q = 1,3 [1,5 ; 1,6] 1,7; N = 42; C = 95%, Me = 5,8 x 3,8 microns; Qe = 1,5.

Leccinellum griseum (Qul.) Bresinsky & Manfr. Binder; Synonymy: Boletus griseus (Qul.) Sacc. & D. Sacc., Gyroporus griseus Qul., Leccinum griseum (Qul.) Singer., Leccinum carpini (R. Schulz) M.M. Moser ex D.A. Reid ?, Leccinellum pseudoscabrum (Kallenb.) Mikk ?Birch Bolete ?, DE: Heinbuchen-raufuSlo.: gabrov bedDat.: July 6. 2010Lat.: 46.33599 Long.: 13.52555Code: Bot_433/2010_IMG1263Habitat: predominantly hard wood, broadleaf tree forest; moderately inclined mountain slope, southwest inclination; cretaceous clastic rock (flysh) bedrock, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 460 m (1.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Bovec basin; next to the trail from station A of Kanin cable car to Pluna village; East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Members of genus Leccinum/Leccinellum are relatively easy to recognize by distinct stem squamules. However, their taxonomy is a problem and species determination is often difficult. No definite and generally accepted answers are known. In 1995 the genus Leccinum comprised about 36 species distinguished by their macro-characters. Ten years later, in 2005, only 14 were still recognized based on DNA analysis (Kibby 2011). It has been proven that some traditional traits, which seemed once very important (for example flesh color changes when cut) have little significance. A new genus Leccinellum was established based on characteristics of hypha in hut cuticle. Yet not all mycologists agree with this approach. Such situation reflects in the fact that in Index Fungorum (IF) current name of this observation is probably Leccinellum griseum, while MycoBank still keeps with the current name Leccinum griseum. There are several ambiguities about species names and I am not sure I handled them correctly. Be that as it may this species doesn't look too appealing for photography, particularly not when old (as on these photos). But it is quite common in Slovenia and edible, and of very good taste (when younger). In this observation it was growing solitary. Spores smooth. Dimensions: (15,1) 15,3 - 16,7 (17,4) (5,2) 5,3 - 5,9 (6,3) m; Q = (2,4) 2,7 - 3,1 (3,2); N = 10; Me = 15,9 5,6 m; Qe = 2,8.

Chroogomphus rutilus (Schaeff.: Fr.) Miller, syn.: Gomphidius viscidus (L.) Fr. Copper Spike, DE: Kuferroter GelbfuSlo.: bakreni polarDat.: Sept. 19. 2009Lat.: 46.37473 Long.: 13.74063Code: Bot_380/2009_DSC4140Habitat: sandy grassland; mixed broadleaved and conifer wood edge; Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris, Salix eleagnos in the vicinity; semiruderal, calcareous ground; flat terrain; dry, half sunny place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 580 m (1.900 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, left bank of river Soa, southwest of village Trenta, downstream of Matoja Inn, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Croomogomphus rutilus is a quite common fungus in this region. Two other species Chroomogomhus helveticus and C. glutinosus grow in the same region. It is not always simple to tell them apart. C. glutinosus is normally very slimy and grows always under Picea abies while Croomogomphus rutilus grows only under two-needle pines. C. helveticus is rarely slimy but grows under Picea abies, two- and fife-needle Pinus species. Inamyloid hypha of the pileipellis is another more demanding distinguishing character. Spore dimensions are very similar of all three and hence of little help in discrimination. Different mycorrhizal partners also did not help in identification of this find since Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris (a two-needle species) were in the vicinity. Yet, characteristic copper tone of the pilei seems to be quite a reliable feature for Croomogomphus rutilus. Growing in small groups of a few fruit bodies and solitary; SP abundant, grayish-brown. Spores smooth. Dimensions 17,3 [18,5 ; 19,1] 20,3 x 5,8 [6,4 ; 6,6] 7,1 microns; Q = 2,6 [2,8 ; 3] 3,2; N = 24; C = 95%; Me = 18,8 x 6,5 microns; Qe = 2,9.
