Type material.
Holotype: Sri Lanka. Wadduwa, South Bolgoda Lake, on rotten angiosperm branch, 28 Feb 2019, Y.C. Dai 19529 (BJFC, isotype in University of Ruhuha).
Etymology.
Minutissima (Lat.), refers to the species having small basidiomata.
Description.
Basidiomata: Annual, resupinate, soft when fresh, soft corky to fragile when dry, up to 5 cm long, 3 cm wide, and approximately 1 mm thick at center; pore surface bluish to more or less turquoise when fresh, becoming cream to buff yellow when dry; sterile margin distinct, fimbriate, thinning out; pores round, 7-9 per mm; dissepiments thin, entire; subiculum very thin to almost absent; tubes concolorous with pore surface, up to 1 mm long.
Hyphal structure: Hyphal system dimitic, generative hyphae bearing clamp connections; skeletal hyphae unbranched, interwoven, 2-3 μm diam; all hyphae IKI-, CB-,unchanged in KOH.
Subiculum : Generative hyphae hyaline, thin-walled, frequently branched, 1-2 µm in diam; skeletal hyphae dominant, more or less straight, unbranched, interwoven, 2-3 μm diam; rosette-like crystals frequently present, 2-8.5 µm in diam, some irregular rhomboidal crystals present.
Tubes: Generative hyphae hyaline, thin-walled, frequently branched, 1-2 µm in diam, some with swollen tips, dominating at dissepiment edges; skeletal hyphae with a narrow lumen to subsolid, unbranched, interwoven, 2-3 µm diam; rosette-like and irregular rhomboidal crystals abundant; cystidioles present, fusoid, hyaline, thin-walled, basally swollen, some with a long or hyphoid neck, 8-18 × 2-5 μm; basidia barrel-shaped, hyaline, bearing four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 7.1-12 × 3.5-4.8 μm; basidioles in shape similar to basidia, but slightly shorter.
Basidiospores: Allantoid, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, occasionally with one or two guttules, IKI-, CB-, (3.7-)3.8-4.4(-4.5) × (0.8-)0.9-1.3 μm, L = 4.02 μm, W = 1.07 μm, Q = 3.67-3.85 (n = 60/2).
