Ciri dan struktur

The basidiocarps consist of numerous rosette-like flattened fan-shaped pilei; they are typically 50 – 150 cm, rarely 250 cm in diameter and 10 – 50 cm, rarely 90 cm high. The individual caps, up to 10 - 50 cm, rarely 90 cm in diameter and 1 – 5 cm thick, arise from a common basal stem. The weight is 10 - 50 kg, but the heaviest specimen can reach 90 kg. The color of the cap surface is pale tan to dull chestnut brown in young specimens but darkens in age to become concentric zones (zonate) of various shades of brown. The surface is also finely fibrillose with tiny scales (squamules). There are 3 to 6 pores per millimeter on the underside; the pore surface bruises brown and black, helping to distinguish it from the similar species Grifola frondosa. The fruiting body appears in autumn but does not persist and collapses into a slimy black mass after the first frosts of the year. Infection of a tree is often through a dead tap root, and decay is largely restricted to roots, and then mainly on the underside. Infected trees often show thinning of the outer crown due to impaired root function. Whole tree failure is due to brittle fracture of degraded lateral roots. The fungus carries on fructifying on stumps or in surface roots for some years after the felling of infected hosts. Microscopic features Spores are roughly spherical to ovoid or ellipsoid in shape, with typical dimensions of 6–6.5 × 5.5–6 μm. Under a microscope, they appear translucent (hyaline), smooth, and nonamyloid, meaning that they do not absorb stain from Melzer's reagent. The basidia—the spore-bearing cells—are club-shaped, 4-spored, and are 22–40 by 7–8 μm.

Habitat dan peran ekologis

M. giganteus memiliki distribusi sirkumoreal di belahan bumi utara. Hal ini telah dikumpulkan dari Eropa, Skandinavia, daerah yang sebelumnya dikenal sebagai USSR, Iran and Turki. Although many panduan lapangan mencantumkannya sebagai terjadi di Amerika Utara, ini karena kebingungan dengan terkait M. sumstinei; M. giganteus tidak ditemukan di Amerika Utara. This mushroom can be found growing on hardwoods, more rarely on conifers. According to Ryvarden and Gilbertson in their monograph on the polypores of Europe, M. giganteus grows especially on Quercus and Fagus tree species, but it has also been collected on the hardwoods Acer, Aesculus, Alnus, Betula, Castanea, Celtis, Corylus, Eucalyptus, Laurus, Myrica, Persea, Pittosporum, Platanus, Populus, Prunus, Pyrus, Tilia, Ulmus; it has also been found growing on the coniferous species Abies, Larix, and Pinus.

Ringkasan sumber

Meripilus giganteus is a polypore fungus in the family Meripilaceae. It causes a white rot in various types of broadleaved trees, particularly beech (Fagus), but also Abies, Picea, Pinus, Quercus and Ulmus species. This bracket fungus, commonly known as the giant polypore or black-staining polypore, is often found in large clumps at the base of trees, although fruiting bodies are sometimes found some distance away from the trunk, parasitizing the roots. M. giganteus has a circumboreal distribution in the northern Hemisphere, and is widely distributed in Europe.

Ekologi sumber

M. giganteus has a circumboreal distribution in the northern hemisphere. It has been collected from Europe, Scandinavia, the area formerly known as the USSR, Iran and Turkey. Although many field guides list it as occurring in North America, this is due to confusion with the related M. sumstinei; M. giganteus is not found in North America. This mushroom can be found growing on hardwoods, more rarely on conifers. According to Ryvarden and Gilbertson in their monograph on the polypores of Europe, M. giganteus grows especially on Quercus and Fagus tree species, but it has also been collected on the hardwoods Acer, Aesculus, Alnus, Betula, Castanea, Celtis, Corylus, Eucalyptus, Laurus, Myrica, Persea, Pittosporum, Platanus, Populus, Prunus, Pyrus, Tilia, Ulmus; it has also been found growing on the coniferous species Abies, Larix, and Pinus.
