Xylaria
    #8644856 - 07/16/08 10:11 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

Well, here in Colorado it's DRY. We're on track currently to have the driest year EVAR. So the vast majority of mushrooms around are in parks and peoples lawns. On the positive side, the current predictions by NOAA say that we should get slightly above normal rainfall for the next month. We can sure use it.

In the meantime, last week an interesting specimen was brought in. It's a Xylaria from Thailand. If it were from North America I'd call it X. longipes, but I won't commit to a specific name for a specimen from a temperate rain forest from the opposite side of the world.



The entire mushroom is about the size of a grain of rice (about 9mm long). The background is a piece of cardboard. The texture of this thing is like wood.

What's especially cool about this is that it really shows what perithecia look like, for those who haven't ever seen them. The spores are produced in asci that line the hollows around the inside edge of the mushroom. The hollows are the perithecia. Xylaria shows them well because the flesh is white and the perithecia are nearly black.

Happy mushrooming!

Chicken.  :tongue2:

I don't let anything as small as that stop me.  :lol:

When I first read the name I thought it was Xerula.  Shows what I know.

They're little club fungi that grow from wood. The person who found them said they were growing from a wooden railing alongside a trail.

One of the key feature for identifying the genus is that they're black on the outside, have a wood like texture, and the inside is white and has only a single layer of perithecia. The perithecia are the round things near the edge of the inside. The white flesh sure jumps out when you cut it in half.

Happy mushrooming!

it says there is a Xylaria species that is bioluminescent.
could you culture your Xylaria longipes and see if it shows any luminous properties??

thx and good luck!

Yeah.  I use a variety of optics when I hunt.  Sometimes I'll use binoculars for scanning the forest floor ahead of me if it is a large are or in a field, sometimes I'll use a magnifying glass and sometimes a loupe.

I never tried using a microscope though.  That's probably why I haven't found these yet.  :lol:

Are these edible?  I would like to pick 4,386,863 of these so I could taste them.

Entersandman, I'm not aware offhand of any bioluminescent Xylaria species. Could you provide a link to a reference on that? TIA

Happy mushrooming!

http://www.google.at/search?hl=de&q=luminous+xylaria+&meta=

i dont know if it is true But i got dried specimen of Hypoxylon sp. from a scientist couple last year.they collected the mushrooms in Malaysia and the natives there had confirmed their luminescence.

i have been very busy since last year so i couldn´t start any grows but i hope to revive the mushrooms in a few days and then we will see!

peace  :mushroom2:
