Description: | Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, membranaceous, 40-120 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface brownish orange to greyish orange, smooth, cracked; margin rather determinate, paler. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae simple-septate, cyanophilous and dextrinoid. Subiculum fairly uniform, composed of basal layer, with compact texture; hyphae colorless or somewhat yellow, horizontal, usually glued together and indistinct, 2-3 μm diam., with thin or thickened walls. Hymenium thickening, differentiated from subiculum, with compact texture; hyphae mainly vertical, somewhat yellow, glued together and indistinct, ca. 2 μm diam., with thickened walls. Gloeocystidia emergent or immersed, colorless or yellowish, cylindrical or ±fusiform, quite often apically with a schizopapillate constriction, 30-100 × 5-10 μm, with thin or slightly thickened walls, SA+. Basidia clavate, 20-24 × 5-6 μm, with thickened walls at least for the basal parts, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores ellipsoid, aculeate-verrucose (smooth in KOH), thin-walled, with a distinct apiculus, (5.8-) 6-7.2 (-8) ×3.6-4.3 μm, IKI bluish black, CB–. | |||
