　Description： Basidiocarp effuse, separable, membranaceous, 100-250 µm thick in section. Hymenial sur-face lvpry Yellow or white, slightly greenish in KOH, smooth, cracked in old parts; margin white, thinning, filamentose. Hyphal system monomitic; most hyphae simple-septate, a few septa in subiculum with single or double clamp connections. Subiculum uniform, composed of medullary layer, with loose texture; hyphae ±horizontal, ramified at wide angles, loosely interwoven, colorless, distinct, straight, 4-7 µm diam., with 1-2 µm thick walls, usually covered with scattered granular crystals, which dissolve easily in KOH, anastomoses occasional. Hymenial layer with compact texture, somewhat thickening; hyphae vertical, colorless, ± agglutinated, distinctly narrower than those of subiculum, thin-walled. Cystidia variably abundant, sometimes not easily found, projecting for approximately half their lengths, not encrusted, subulate, 26-38 × 3.5-4.5 µm, thin-walled. Basidia narrowly clavate, 17.5-21.5 × 3.5-5 µm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores ellipsoid or narrowly ellipsoid, adaxially flattened, smooth, thinwalled, sometimes with several oil-drops, (3.6-) 3.8-4.4 (-4.7) ×1.8-2.3 µm, IKI-, CB-.

　Note： This species can be distinguished from Phanerochaete carnosa (Burt) Parmasto by its whitish hymenial surface; the cystidia, basidia, and basidiospores are also smaller than those of P. carnosa.
