Lupus Vulgaris Sclerotic

Lupus vulgaris scleroticus (L. vulgaris scleroticus) is a basidiomycete fungus from the lupus family. It is distinguished by the presence of a dense, rigid cap and stem. The cap is 3-8 cm in diameter, convex, then opens to flat-convex. The color of the cap varies from gray-brown to almost black. The surface is dry, velvety or finely scaly. The plates of the hymenophore are attached with a tooth to the stalk, grayish with a violet tint. The leg is 3-7 cm long, 0.5-1.5 cm thick, cylindrical, dense, whitish. The pulp is white, does not change color when cut, with a faint mushroom smell and taste.

Lives in coniferous and mixed forests, prefers calcareous soil. Grows singly or in small groups. It is considered an inedible mushroom due to its toughness.

Sclerotic lupus (lat. Lábios validae vulfariae skleroticus, English lupus vulgaris, also Valensian lupus, colloquially simply “valcian lupus”) is a species of ostracod from the subfamily Eucalaninae. Lupus sclerosis is distinguished by a translucent shell that has a whitish or greenish color. Its diameter rarely exceeds 2.5 cm; its height, however, can reach 5 mm. Lupus sclerosis usually has two granules on the inside of the abdominal wall, located along the sulcus of the eye. Also, waviness on the side of the body can appear as a result of tissue death.

Lupus vulgaris is found primarily in the South Atlantic Ocean, although it is found in other parts of the world. It is the most widespread member of the family Asaphocodidae and is found in many intertidal habitats. Sclerotic batwort usually lives along the sandy bottom, on its dunes, slopes, shell rocks and shells.
