Description: | Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, subceraceous, 50-150 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface grayish yellow, smooth, extensively cracked; margin thinning, concolorous or paler, byssoid-filamentous. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae simple-septate. Subiculum com-posed of a medullary layer, with fairly dense texture; hyphae colorless, 3-8 μm diam., with 0.5-1.5 μm thick walls. Hymenium thickening, with dense texture; hyphae mainly vertical, colorless, thick-walled. Cystidia lacking. Basidia clavate, 15-25 × 4-5 μm, thick-walled except the apical parts, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores narrowly ellipsoid, adaxially slightly concave, smooth, thin-walled, 4.7-6.3 × 2.5-3 μm, IKI-, CB-. | |||

Note: | Both Phanerochaete canolutea and P. avellanea (Bres.) J. Erikss. & Hjortstam lack cystidia and have similar-sized basidiospores. However, several features separate these two species. First, the subiculum of P. avellanea is composed of a very thin basal layer (Burdsall, 1985; Eriksson et al, 1981), while that of P. canolutea is composed of a medullary layer. Secondly, basidia of P. canolutea are shorter (15-25 μm) than those of P. avellanea ((25-)30-40 μm (Burdsall, 1985); see also the basidium illustrated from the type specimen in Eriksson et al. (1981)). Further, P. canolutea is distinct in having thick-walled basidia. Moreover, basidiospores of P. canolutea are slightly shorter (4.7-6.3 μm) than the lectotype specimen of P. avellanea (5.5-6.5(-7) μm, according to Wu (1990: as Efibula avellanea)). | |||
