Description: | Basidiocarp effuse, adnate, poose-reticulate, 45-85 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface Pale Grayish Smoke, smooth, minutely pilose owing to projecting septocystidia, not cracked; margin concolorous, thinning, arachnoid. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae nodose-septate. Subiculum uniform, composed of medullary layer, with rather loose texture; hyphae richly ramified, somewhat interwoven, colorless, distinct, 2-3.7 μm diam., with 0.3-0.6 μm thick walls. Subhymenium not clearly differentiated. Hymenium and subhymenium IKI brownish, somewhat CB+. Cystidia of two kinds: (1) Septocystidia numerous, projecting, colorless, with several clamped septa, 40-100 (-130) × 3.5-7 μm, with 0.4-0.7 μm thick walls, apically thin-walled. (2) Lagenocystidia numerous, 15-25 × 3.5-5 μm, thin- or slightly thick-walled. Basidia subutriform or utriform, guttulate, 13-15 × 5-6 μm, 4- or 2-sterigmate. Basidio-spores broadly ellipsoid, sometimes tapering towards the apiculus, smooth, thin-walled, of-ten with one prominent oil-drops, (5.3-) 6-6.7 (-7) × 3.5-4.2 (-4.5) μm, IKI-, somewhat CB+. | |||
