| Description： |
Basidiocarp annual, effused-reflexed or resupinate; pileus solitary or imbricate, dimidiate or much elongated along bark crevices, up to 1 × 5 × 1 cm; upper surface white, becoming gray or yellowish, tomentose to appressed-fibrillose, azonate, smooth; margin concolorous; pore surface white to ivory, the pores circular to angular, 3-4 per mm; context white, soft-fibrous, azonate, up to 4 mm thick; tube layer concolorous with the context, up to 2 mm thick. Hyphal system monomitic; thin-walled, frequently branched, simple-septate, 2.5-6 μm in diam. Cystidia of two types, some abundant, narrowly clavate to cylindric, apically incrusted, 17-43 × 4.0-6 μm; gloeocystidia imbedded, arising in subhymenial layers, with refractive contents, cylindric to clavate, 17-28 × 5.5-9 μm. Basidiospores broadly ellipsoid to subglobose, hyaline, IKI-, smooth, 4-4.5 × 3-4 μm. | |||

Macroscopically, basidiocarps of O.cuneatus are similar to those of Trametes hirsuta, but easily separated by the simple - septate hyphae and the cystidia. | |||
