 Description: Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, ceraceous, 50-200 μm thick in section (aculei ex-cluded). Hymenial surface pale brown, odontioid, cracked; margin fairly determinate, paler to whitish. Aculei conical to subulate, usually separate, 2-4 per mm, 100-250 μm wide, up to 700 μm long. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae simple-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, a basal layer of compact texture; hyphae colorless, mainly horizontal, 4-6 μm diam., with ca. 1 μm thick walls. Hymenium thickening, with compact texture; hyphae mainly vertical, col-orless, slightly thick-walled. Trama of aculei of compact texture, some with crystal masses near apex; hyphae mainly vertical, other aspects similar to those of subiculum. Cystidia lacking. Basidia clavate, 14-18 × 4.5-5.5 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores cylindrical or narrowly ellipsoid, smooth, thin-walled, 6-7.2 × 2.6-3 μm, IKI-, CB-.

 Note: Phanerochaete odontoidea is very similar to P. subodontoidea: both species have odontioid hymenial surface, compact subiculum, and lack cystidia. Multinucleate condition of secondary mycelia reported for both species in this paper, indicates a holocoenocytic nu-clear behavior which supports their placement in Phanerochaete. Phanerochaete odontoidea has narrower basidiospores (2.6-3 μm) than P. subodontoidea (3-3.7 μm).
