Crepidotus cinnabarinus is a species of saprophytic fungus in the family Crepidotaceae with a stipeless sessile cap distributed in North America and Europe.[3] It is highly conspicuous and often found on fallen branches and rotting trunks of broad leafed trees. In England it appears from late summer to autumn.[4]
Description[edit]
- Cap: Bright orangish red, the cap (pileus) of C. cinnabarinus is generally about 2 to 18mm in diameter and is convex, shell or fan shaped with a finely down felted surface when fresh, especially at its base, becoming minutely pitted or more or less bald and dry. The margin is irregular to fibrous and initially inrolled.[5][4]
- Stipe (stem): Absent, but a pale, lateral pseudostem is sometimes present.[5]
- Gills: Coloured pale brown with a red-orange edge, are crowded and adnexed.[4]
- Spores: The spore print is buff. Spore shape is broadly elliptical to subspherical with a finely spiny to warty surface, measuring 8-8.5–8.5
- Absent features- No annulus (ring).
