MycoBank No: 834036

Holotype: China. Yunnan Province: Puer, Zhenyuan County, Heping Town, Ailaoshan National Nature Reserve, on dead bamboo, 11 January 2018, CLZhao 4831 (SWFC).

Morphological description

Basidiomata. Annual, resupinate, ceraceous when fresh, becoming brittle and cracking upon drying, up to 20 cm long and 8 cm wide, 100–200 µm thick. Hymenial surface colliculose to tuberculate, white to cream when fresh, turning cream to buff upon drying. Margin narrow, concolorous with hymenial surface.

Hyphal system. Monomitic; generative hyphae with clamp connections, hyaline, thick-walled, branched, 2.5–3.9 µm in diameter, IKI–, cyanophilous; tissues unchanged in KOH. Numerous crystals present among hyphae.

Hymenium. Two kinds of cystidia: 1) capitate, hyaline, thin-walled, 35–55 × 4–7 µm, smooth or slightly encrusted; 2) tapering, hyaline, thin-walled, 40–65 × 4–5.5 µm, smooth or slightly encrusted; cystidioles present, hyaline, thin-walled, 12– 17 × 2–3 µm. Basidia clavate, constricted, thin-walled, with four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 16.5–35 × 3.5–7 µm.

Spores. Basidiospores broadly ellipsoid, hyaline, slightly thick-walled, smooth, IKI–, cyanophilous, guttulate, (4.5–)4.7–5.9 (–6.2) × (3.4–)3.7–4.6(–4.8) µm, L = 5.31 µm, W = 4.19 µm, Q = 1.23–1.3 (n = 120/4).

Habitat: On dead bamboo.

Distribution: China.
