| Description： |
Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, membranaceous or subceraceous, 70-150 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface yellowish white, smooth, occasionally cracked; margin white, thinning, filamentose. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae simple-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, with dense texture next to substratum and looser near Hymenial layer; hyphae mainly horizontal especially near substratum, colorless, sometimes indistinct, 1.5-3 μm diam., thin-walled. Hymenium ± thickening, with dense texture. Gloeocystidia numerous, immersed or emergent, colorless, tubular, occasionally constricted near apices, slightly flexuous, occasionally with a lateral branch near base, up to ca. 120 μm long, 4-7 μm diam., thin-walled, SA+. Basidia clavate or narrowly clavate, irregularly swollen, slightly flexuous, 38-52 × 5.5-7 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores globose, smooth, thin-walled, (5.5-) 5.7-6.3 (-6.8) × 5.2-6 (-6.5) μm, IKI slightly bluish black, CB–. | |||
