Sea buckthorn polypore (Phellinus hippophaëicola)

:

Sea buckthorn tinder resembles false oak tinder (Phellinus robustus) – adjusted for size, because sea buckthorn tinder has smaller fruiting bodies. They are perennial, more or less hoof-shaped or rounded, sometimes semi-spread, often overgrown with branches and thin stems.

In youth, their surface is velvety, yellowish-brown, with age it becomes bare, darkens to gray-brown or dark gray, becomes finely cracked and often overgrown with epiphytic algae. Convex concentric zones are clearly distinguishable on it. The edge is thick, rounded, covered with cracks in old fruiting bodies.

ny lamba hard, woody, rusty brown, with a silky sheen when cut.

Hymenophore rusty brown hues. The pores are round, small, 5-7 per 1 mm.

disadisa round, more or less regular spherical to ovoid, thin-walled, pseudoamyloid, 6-7.5 x 5.5-6.5 μ.

In general, microscopically, the species is almost identical to the false oak tinder fungus (Phellinus robustus), and was previously considered to be its form.

Sea buckthorn tinder, as its name implies, grows on live sea buckthorn (on old trees), which successfully distinguishes it from other members of the Phellinus genus. Causes white rot. It occurs in Europe, Western Siberia, Central and Central Asia, where it lives in riverine or coastal sea buckthorn thickets.

The species is included in the Red List of Mushrooms in Bulgaria.
