Description: | Basidiocarp effuse, adnate, ceraceous, 25-120 µm thick in section (aculei excluded). Hymenial surface Pale Olive-Buff, Cream Color, or Pale Pinkish Buff, odontioid, cracked extensively when old; margin concolorous, rather determinate or thinning, not differentiated. Aculei usually separate, 4-8 per mm, conical to subulate, apically fimbriate owing to projecting cystidia, 50-350 ×40-120 µm. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae simple-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, mainly composed of basal layer, with compact texture, thin; hy-phae horizontal, colorless, ± distinct, straight, agglutinated, 3-7 μm diam., with 0.3-1.5 thick walls. Hymenial layer with compact texture, ± thickening; hyphae ± vertical, colorless, indistinct, ± tortuous, 1.5-3 μm diam., thin-walled. Lamprocystidia very numerous, immersed or projecting, heavily encrusted for more than their apical halves, conical or subulate, 23-50 × 5-9 μm (encrustation excluded), with 0.7-2.5 μm thick walls, adventitious septa occasionally occur; immersed cystidia covered with thicker crystal masses than the projecting ones. Cystidial elements numerous, single in aculeal center, usually projecting, encrusted, cylindrical, 8-12 μm diam., slightly thick-walled, with several adventitious septa. Basidia clavate, 10-14 × 3-4 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores narrowly ellipsoid, adaxially slightly concave, smooth, thin-walled, with a minute apiculus, (3.3-) 3.3-4.2 (-4.5) × 1.7-2.2 μm, IKI-, CB-. | |||

Note: | Should Peniophora hydnoides Cooke & Massee be a later synonym of Peniophora rimosa Cooke, as Jülich (1982) proposed (cf. also Burdsall 1985)? I provisionally adopt the opinion of Eriksson et al. (1984), who regard the two as distinct species, differing in the aculei on the hymenial surface. | |||
