Xerotus anastomosus Lloyd, Mycol. Writ. 7(Letter 67): 1154. 1922

Synonym: Marasmiellus anastomosus (Lloyd) Redhead & Nagas., Can. J. Bot. View in CoL 65(5): 974. 1987.

Redhead and Nagasawa (1987) provided a type study of Xerotus anastomosus , a species described from material collected in the Philippines on dead coconut palm petioles. They reported that the species has a poroid hymenophore and gelatinized tissues like Campanella , but a central stipe like Marasmiellus . Micromorphological features include rhomboidal basidiospores, coralloid to undulate subcapitate cheilocystidia, pileipellis and stipitipellis a Rameales - structure, and a duplex pileus trama with gelatinized upper portion. In combination, these features show some similarity to Campanella and Tetrapyrgos . We have not studied this species. New material would be beneficial for analysis of its phylogenetic relationship.
