　Description： Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, subceraceous, 150-500 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface pink or grayish pink, smooth, occasionally cracked; margin determinate, quite often separate from the substratum, concolorous or slightly paler. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae nodose-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, composed of a rather thick basal layer, with compact texture; hyphae brownish next to substratum and hymenium, colorless elsewhere, mainly horizonal, sometimes glued together, 2.5-5 μm diam., with 0.6-1.2 μm thick walls. Hymenium ± thickening, with compact texture; hyphae colorless, mainly vertical, rather indistinct, thin-walled. Lamprocystidia variably abundant, mostly immersed, heavily encrusted, conical, colorless or slightly brown, 30-90 × 10-20 μm (encrustation included), with 1-2.5 μm thick walls. Gloeocystidia variably abundant, colorless, cylindrical with obtuse apices or fusiform with acute apices, 30-80 × 5-10 μm, thin- to thick-walled, SA-. Basidia subclavate, 25-30 × 4-5 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores suballantoid, adaxially slightly concave, smooth, thin-walled, 6.3-7.5 × 2-2.5 μm, IKI-, CB-.

　Note： Remarks: General morphological characters of two specimens collected from temperate belt of Taiwan resemble those of P. septentrionalis. The only significant difference between Taiwanian specimens from those of other localities is in the host plants. Collections from the other regions of the world occur on gymnosperm (Eriksson et al., 1978; Ginns and Lefebvre, 1993), while two specimens from Taiwan were collected from angiosperm.
