Taxonomy and naming history

For the first time, Jellyfish False Man was described by the Italian mycologist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1772 in the book Flora carniolica... Skopoli placed him in the genus Hydnum, which united at that time all mushrooms that have spines on the lower surface of the fruiting bodies, and gave him the specific epithet "gelatinosum", which means "gelatinous", "jelly-like". This species was allocated to a separate genus. Pseudohydnum Peter Adolf Carsten in 1868. The scientific name of the genus comes from ancient Greek. ψευδής - "false" and genus names Hydnum.

Biological description

The fruiting bodies of the pseudo-beetle are spoon-shaped, fan-shaped or tongue-shaped.

The cap of adult mushrooms usually reaches 7.5 cm in diameter, thick, with a turned-up edge. The upper surface of the cap is smooth or velvety, painted in whitish, grayish or brownish tones, darkens with age.

The hymenophore (the lower surface of the cap on which spores form) consists of soft short white or grayish, less often bluish, translucent spines.

The leg of mushrooms growing on a horizontal surface is noticeable, more or less central, up to 5 cm long. In other cases, the leg is poorly developed, eccentric, sometimes absent altogether.

The pulp is gelatinous, soft, translucent, with a fresh or weak resinous odor and taste.

White spore powder. Disputes are uncolored, elliptical, less often almost spherical, with smooth wall surfaces, non-amyloid (that is, they do not change color upon contact with iodine). The spore sizes vary in the range of 5-6 × 4.5-5.5 µm. Basidia with 4 sterigmas, elongated pear-shaped, septate. Cystyds are absent.

The size of the stem of the fruiting bodies of the fungus can vary greatly depending on the place of growth.

Practical valueedit | edit code

In European literature, gelatinous pseudo-jellyfish is most often ranked among inedible mushrooms. American mycologist William Rudy considers it edible even raw, but notes that the false-gooseberry is rarely eaten due to its tasteless pulp.
