CHEMICAL REACTIONS
In KOH the skin and amber Klobuk cinoberkarmin, lower in meat bouquet of yellow-gray, the surface of a bouquet of olive, the orange tubes and pores, then the color of honey, and NH3, the meat of Pocrnela KOH diluted with blue-gray border. On a bouquet of NH3 by sulfur yellow, else nothing happens. The SV at the bottom of a bouquet of pink.
MICROSCOPY
Spores very light yellow, hyaline, coarse granular, elongated spindle-shaped, almost cylindrical: 12-16/4-5 mm size.
HABITAT AND DISTRIBUTION
End of oak species, but oak, very common, and in the lower regions of Croatia and Vojvodina's mass. He likes the lighter seats, mostly from the edge of the forest roads and very acid soils. Found in Europe.
