Thelephora terrestris is an inedible species of fungus in the Basidiomycota phylum.[1] It is commonly known by the name Common Fiber Vase because of its circular and overlapping cap.[2] As well, it has also been called the Earthfan fungus.[3]
History and taxonomy
This fungus was first described by Jakob Friedrich Ehrhart in 1787.[4][5]
Habitat and ecology
Throughout North America[2] and Europe[5] Thelephora terrestris can be found in soil. It is commonly found in sandy soils under pine trees, on roots[2] and twigs.[6]
As this ectomycorrhizal fungi forms a symbiotic relationship with the pinus species, it forms mycorrihizae.[7] It is commonly found in pine forests[8] as well as plant nursery soils world wide.[9] This fungi is known to get water and nutrients from far away[10] and being capable of growing in both low; fertile and high fertile soils.[3]
After a disturbance such as a forest fire, will re-establish quickly and is considered stress tolerant,[11] as well it is a dominant mycorrhizal fungus.[9]
Outside of the pinus species, it is also capable of forming mycorrizha with other trees such as alder, birch, oak, beech, and poplar.[3]
Thelephora terrestris virus 1 (TtV1), which is a mycovirus, can infect this fungi.[3]
Growth and morphology
Thelephora terrestris is present year round, though is mostly seen July to December.[2] As the fruiting body forms, it starts off lighter in colour then turns to a darker shade of brown as it ages.[7] A stalk may not be present, if there is one, it is usually very short.[2] Sometimes the fungi is grown in large colonies.[6] The shape is described as a fan and can grow up to 6cm wide.[6] It has been described to have a moldy earth like smell.[2]
The hyphae of mycorrhizal forms walls that becomes thicker as it ages, while in earlier stages may be spiney.[12] When mating, the hyphae forms clamp connections[7] The spores are purple-brown colour,[2] ellipsoid or angular shape.[6]
Physiology
The full life cycle can be reproduced and studied in a laboratory, both ectomycorrhizal form and mushroom form.[13]
Due to the mycotoxins that the fungi produces, it protects pinus trees from root pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi.[9]
