| Description： |
Basidiocarp annual, resupinate, effused-reflexed to pileate, sessile to dimidiate, single to imbricate, up to 5 cm wide × 1.2 cm thick, soft when fresh, readily separated from substrate, with margins entire, acute to obtuse, curved downward when dry; upper surface glabrous to velutinate, whitish to creamy, becoming pale pink when bruised. Pores angular to round, up to six per mm; pore surface whitish to creamy, pale pink when bruised. Tubers up to 1 cm long, concolorous with pore surface. Context fleshy to fibrous, up to 0.2 cm thick, concolorous with fleshy to fibrous, up to 0.2 cm thick, concolorous with pore-surface. Hyphal system monomitic; generative hyphae with simple septa, hyaline, up to 5 μm wide, thin-to thick-walled, inamyloid to weakly dextrinoid. Basidia clavate, 15-22 × 5.5-8 μm, with 4-sterigmata and a simple basal septum, inamyloid to weakly am-yloid. Basidiospores tear-shaped to subglobose, smooth, hyaline, 4-5.5 × 3.5 μm, amyloid. | |||
