 Description: Basidiocarp widely effuse, ±adnate, byssoid, soft, 200-500 µm thick in section (aculei excluded). Hymenial surface Ivory Yellow or whitish, odontioid or raduloid-irpicoid due to fusion of aculeal bases, not cracked; margin concolorous, thinning, sparsely byssoid. Aculei usually fused at bases, 3-5 per mm, subulate, apically fimbriate, 0.5-2 × 0.1-0.4 mm. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae simple-septate. Subiculum uniform, composed of medullary layer, with rather loose texture; hyphae fairly vertical, moderately ramified and loosely in-terwoven, colorless or subcolorless, distinct, fairly straight, 2.3-4 µm diam., thin-walled, usually covered with scattered crystals, anastomoses occasional. Central trama with rather compact texture; hyphae vertical, short-celled, slightly thick-walled. Yellowish brown excreted material dense in trama, scattered in subiculum. Cystidia numerous, mostly slightly projecting, not encrusted, tubular or cylindrical, 40-180 × 5-7 µm, slightly thick-walled. Basidia short-clavate, sometimes slightly constricted in middle, often guttulate, 9-14 × 4-5.5 µm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores subglobose, smooth, thin-walled, with one prominent yel-lowish oil-drop, 4.2-5 (-5.2) × 3-3.5 (-3.7) µm, IKI-, CB-.

 Note: This new species is characterized by the simple-septate hyphae and tubular cystidia, and differs from H. efibulata J. Erikss. & Hjortstam in having broader basidiospores.
