　Description： Macroscopic characters: Basidiocarps resupinate, widely effused, adnate, 300–500 μm thick including spines, 4 × 7–10 cm, pelliculose, soft, cream buff or colonial buff, not changing color in 5% KOH; margins thining out, arachnoid or byssoid, ivory yellow; spines col-umn-like, slant in 60 degree, apical part borader, 150–170 μm wide, 200–400 μm long, basal part narrower, 120 μm wide, but sometimes broader. Microscopic characters: Basal layer almost none; the intermediate layer about 80 μm thick, composed of loosely interwoven distinct hyphae; hyphae 2–3 μm wide, thin-walled, smooth, with numerous clamp connections; cystidia with two types, presented on the hymenial layer, not immersed in context; cystidioles (leptocystidia) not encrusted, cylindrical, straight or slightly flexuous, rounded at apex, easily stained by phloxine, thin-walled, tufted on the tips of spines and scattered on the hymenial surface, 4.5–5 × 20 μm, always protruding; metu-loid cystidia cylindrical, 3–5 μm wide, with clamp connections, abruptly narrow towards upper parts in 2 μm width or 3–4 μm width with the fused rough crystals covered on the tenuate portions, protruding 10–35 μm high, only distributed on the hymenial layer, not present on the tips of spines; hymenium 15 μm thick; young basidia subclavate, 4–5 × 10–11 μm, protruding, with 2–4 sterigmata; basidiospores ellipsoid, 3–4 × 4.5 μm, smooth, thin-walled, non-amyloid.
