Morganella pyriforme (Fr.) Pat. |
The fruiting body is pear-shaped, with minute warts or brown spines (like sand), soon smooth, umbonate at the top, whitish grey to grey-brown, with a short stem, not clearly marked from fertile head. The fertile surface is internal: the spores are released as dust when mature. It grows on wood, on tree trunks and roots of broad-leaved (sometimes coniferous) trees. The fruiting period takes place from July to December.
Distinctive features : in dense troops; on stumps or rotting wood, base with whitish mycelial chords Morganella pyriforme is occasional and widely present in the forest of Rambouillet, and is very frequent, more generally speaking . | ||
