Description: | Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, 60-120 μm thick in section, subceraceous. Hymenial surface ivory yellow, smooth, not cracked; margin thinning, concolorous or paler, arachnoid- byssoid. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae nodose-septate. Subiculum with compact texture, of a thin basal layer; hyphae horizontal, glued together, colorless, 3-5 μm diam., with 0.5-1 μm thick walls. Hymenial layer with dense or compact texture; hyphae mainly vertical, colorless, usually glued together and indistinct, narrower than those of subicular hyphae, thin-walled. Cystidia lacking. Basidia utriform, 23-33 × 6-7.5 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores cylindrical, adaxially slightly concave, smooth, thin-walled, with fairly homogeneous contents, (10-) 10.5-12.5 (-13) × 4.2-5 μm (holotype spore-print: X = 11.49 ± 0.62 × 4.71 ± 0.29 μm, n = 30), IKI-, CB-. | |||
