 Description: Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, membranaceous, usually fibrillose. Context up to ca. 250 μm thick. Hymenial surface cream, pinkish cream, or buff, poroid, cracked; margin concolorous or paler, fairly determinate, shortly filamentous. Pores angular, 3-6 per mm, soon becoming split; tube layer up to 1 mm deep; dissepiments 50-150 μm thick. Hyphal system seemingly dimitic; generative hyphae with clamp-connections. Context with fairly loose texture; generative hyphae variously oriented, ± horizontal near substratum, colourless, 2-4 μm diam., with 0.5-1 μm thick walls, occasionally finely encrusted. Trama with dense texture; skeletal-like hyphae colourless or yellow, 3-5.5 μm diam., with 0.7-1.5 μm thick walls, dominant in central trama; generative hyphae similar to those of context. Generative hyphae of dissepiment surface with finely encrusted apices. Capitate cystidia numerous, abundant in context, trama, and hymenial layer, colourless, 15-40 μm long, with 5-10 μm diam. globose apices, thin- or slightly thick-walled, encrusted with brownish yellow resinous material. Basidia suburniform, 12-20 × 4-5 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores ellipsoid, adaxially flattened, smooth, thin-walled, 4-5.1 × 2.9-3.7 μm, IKI–, CB–.

 Note: Information derived from this study and previous studies by other mycologists indicates that H. flavipora is a species widely distributed from temperate to tropical regions of the world. Examination of type specimens of possible synonyms has shown that most synonyms previously proposed are confirmed by this study.
