Description: | Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, membranaceous, 40-120 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface yellowish orange, smooth or slightly tuberculate, sometimes cracked; margin fairly determinate, concolorous. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae nodose-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, composed of a fairly thin basal layer, with compact texture; hyphae colorless, mainly horizonal, sometimes glued together, 1.5-4.5 μm diam., thin- or slightly thick-walled. Hymenium thickening, with compact texture; hyphae colorless, mainly vertical, dextrinoid, thin-walled. Lamprocystidia numerous, immersed or emergent, overlapping in hymenium, heavily encrusted, conical, colorless, 20-40 × 7-11 μm (encrustation included), with 1-2 μm thick walls. Gloeocystidia not abundant, colorless, cylindrical, usually tapering to narrow apices, 25-40 × 6-9 μm, thin-walled, SA-. Basidia subclavate to almost cylindrical, sometimes slightly constricted in the middle, 14-20 × 4-4.5 μm, some with thickened walls toward bases, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores broadly ellipsoid, smooth, thin-walled, (4-) 5-6 (-6.3) × 3-4 μm, IKI-, CB-. | |||

Note: | Peniophora ovalispora is closely related to P. scintillans. Morphologically the former has smaller basidiospores. Boidin et al. (1991) proved incompatibility between specimens of these two species. | |||
