| Description： |
Basidiocarp effuse, adnate, reticulate-porous when young, pellicular or submembranaceous when old, 130-350 μm thick in section, some parts with revival fertile layer. Hymenial surface whitish, smooth, cracked; margin thinning, concolorous, arachnoid-filamentous. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae nodose-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, composed of medullary layer, with loose texture; hyphae ± horizontal near substratum, variously oriented elsewhere, branched at wide angles, sparsely ramified, colorless, distinct, fairly straight, 2.5-5 μm diam., with slightly thick- to ca. 1 μm thick walls. Subhymenium distinctly differentiated from subiculum, thickening, with dense texture; hyphae colorless, vertical, much narrower and thinner than those of subiculum. Cystidia lacking. Basidia clavate, 16-24 × 3.5-4 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores suballantoid, smooth, thin-walled, guttulate, 4.2-5.2 × 1.5-1.8 μm, IKI grayish blue, CB–. | |||

This species was found (Rattan 1977) as widely distributed in the coniferous forests of the North Western Himalayas. Taiwan is so far the only distribution outside that area. The Formosan collection was also made from gymnosperm tree. | |||
