Description: | Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, membranaceous or subceraceous, 30-200 μm thick in section (aculei included). Hymenial surface pale yellow to yellowish white, minutely or indistinctly grandinioid or aculeate, rarely cracked; margin concolorous, thinning, pruinose. Aculei usually small, separate or fused, fairly irregular in densities and sizes. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae nodose-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, composed of medullary layer, with dense texture; hyphae colorless, variously oriented, fairly tortuous and indistinct, occasionally glued together, 1.5-3 μm diam., thin-walled. Hymenium thickening, not differentiated from subiculum, with compact texture; hyphae colorless, indistinct, somewhat narrower than those in subiculum. Gloeocystidia numerous, immersed or slightly emergent, colorless or subcolorless, cylindrical, basally swollen and apically narrow, ± flexuous, up to ca. 100 μm long, 8-18 μm diam., SA+. Crystal masses sometimes scattered or crowded in subiculum, usually crowded in trama. Basidia suburniform, 13-18 × 3.5-4 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores broadly ellipsoid or subglobose, adaxially flattened, verrucose (smooth in KOH), with a distinct apiculus, thin-walled, usually with oily drops, 3.9-4.8 × 2.9-3.5 μm, IKI bluish black, CB–. | |||
