Yellowing Curtain Crust
Stereum subtomentosum
51.4427, 6.06087
Field Notes
Description:
Stereum species are wood decay fungi that do not have tubes. They are simply small bracket-shaped membranes appearing on dead wood. The underside of the membrane contains spores but no ornament, i.e. gills, of any kind. Like most members in the family, Stereums lack clamp connection and have amyloid spores.
The species can be divided into 2 groups: the bleeders (those that exude a red liquid at cut surfaces, similarly to Lactarius species) and the non-bleeders (those that do not).
Habitat:
Stereum species are found to live on all kinds of deadwood or hardwood or dead leaves (they are therefore said to be saprobic). Sometimes they are also found on living leaves
----
Stereum contains 27 species that have a widespread distribution

so far i only found:Only in europe/east-azia is the "stereum subtomentosum" distributed !! (until now).
Notes:
i'm not completly convinced, i could have done, a "discoloration- through-water-test", but i didn't knew it at the moment in the forest.All other features are good:
1: they were dry, curled in ,but still with leathery texture. 2: the for me most interesting detail, was "NO gills OR pores.Just a smooth surface. 3: The top of the cap was hairy, some hairs are green-like discolorated-due to algae. 4: fan-like- shape 5: no stem or a fake-stem 6: on the cap "zones".....

i had found a website, which use the same references pictures as in one of my books. Each fungi with the same pictures, "paddenstoelen encyclopedie [g.j. keizer] [Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany,]- ( http://www.soortenbank.nl/soorten.php?soortengroep=paddenstoelen&id=982 )
