Notes

The superimposed pileate basidiocarp with minute pores, the pileus colour and the size of the spores, were characters used to differentiate this species from others. It has been described from Peru ( Corner 1987). This is the first record of the species for Colombia.

Diagnosis

Basidiomes stipitate, solitary. Pileus flabelliform to subreniform, upper surface subpruinose when dry, white to pale yellow, stipe short (Fig. 2 C). Stipe short, base subdiscoid. Pore surface white. Pores angular to irregular, 11-14 per mm. Hyphal structure pseudo-dimitic; generative hyphae with clamps, with long segments on the thick-walled hyphae, skeletal hyphae thick-walled; it is difficult to interpret whether it is a dimitic or monomythic hyphal system. Basidiospores ellipsoid, hyaline, smooth, thin-walled, negative in Melzer’s Reagent, 3.4-4.1 × 2.5-3.2 µm.
