Cordyceps ophioglossoides (Tolypocladium ophioglossoides)

Cordyceps ophioglossoid fruiting body:

To the observer, Cordyceps ophioglossus appears not in the form of a fruiting body, but in the form of a stroma – a club-shaped, oblate formation on the sides 4-8 cm high and 1-3 cm thick, on the surface of which tiny, black in youth, then whitish fruiting bodies grow. The stroma continues underground, at least the same size as the above ground part, and takes root in the remains of an underground fungus of the genus Elaphomyces, also called false truffle. The underground part is colored yellow or light brown, the ground part is usually black-brown or reddish; maturing pimply perithecia can lighten it somewhat. In section, the stroma is hollow, with yellowish fibrous pulp.

ווייטיש.

צעשפרייטן:

Ophioglossoid Cordyceps grows from mid-August to the end of October in forests of various types, pursuing fruit-bearing “truffles” of the genus Elaphomyces. With an abundance of “hosts” can be found in large groups. So, of course, rare.

ענלעך מינים:

To confuse cordyceps ophioglossoides with some kind of geoglossum, for example, Geoglossum nigritum, is the most common thing – all these mushrooms are rare and little known to man. In contrast to the geoglossum, which is represented by a normal fruiting body, the surface of the cordyceps stroma is dotted with small pimples, light (not black) and fibrous on the cut. Well, the “truffle” at the base, of course.
