　Description： Basidiocarp solitary, effuse-reflexed to subapplanate, broadly attached, fairly hard when dried, ca. 1.5-2 cm long and diam., up to ca. 1.5 cm thick. Upper surface woolly yellow, slightly zonate, hispid with spines up to 500 μm long and 50-150 μm diam. Hymenial surface ivory yellow, poroid. Pores angular, ± hexagonal, ca. 1-4 mm diam. Hyphal pegs numerous, emerging from the hymenium, separate, up to 100 μm long, 15-30 μm wide. Tubes fairly deep, up to ca. 1cm, concolorous with context. Hyphal system dimitic. Generative hyphae nodose-septate, colorless, 2-3 μm diam., thin-walled. Clamp connections fairly hard to find, probably from hyphae having long cells and few septa. Skeletal hyphse colorless, in context more abundant than generative hyphae, unbranched, 3-5 μm diam., with 0.8-1.8 μm thick walls, secondary septa occasionally present. Cystidia lacking. Basidia clavate, ca. 20 × 8 μm, longitudinally quartered in apical parts, the divided apical half separated from the basal undivided basidium by a septum, bearing four large sterigmata. Basidiospores colorless, ellipsoid or broadly ellipsoid, adaxially slightly concave, smooth, thin-walled, 8-11 × 5-6 μm, IKI–, CB–.

　Note： Elmerina Bres. belongs heterobasidiomycetes, and was considered by Wells (1994) as belonging to the Hyaloriaceae A. M?ller of the Auriculariales J. Schr?t. Elmerina species have long been known as members of the genus Aporpium Bondartzev & Singer, until Reid (1992) found the former to be the earliest name for these species. The treatment of Reid was adopted by Wells (1994).
