Fuscoporia indica differs from F. callimorpha in having an imbricate basidiome, convex pilei, smaller pores, and larger hymenial setae (Dai 2010). Fuscoporia indica, F. senex, and F. torulosa share similar features such as applanate, dimidiate basidiomes with a dimitic hyphal system, the presence of cystidioles, and cyanophilic basidiospores, but F. indica differs in having a glabrous, azonate pilear surface and larger basidiospores. Fuscoporia indica also differs from F. rhabarbarina by the absence of a crust above the context at maturity and, microscopically, by larger basidiospores. In contrast, F. rhabarbarina is identified by the presence of a crust above the context in older specimens and smaller spores (3.2–4.2 × 2–2.5 μm) (Dai 2010).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/666E4A48EAC35CEE958CDD6DF86C6AC1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
