Wang & C. L. Zhao 2025	<div><p>Exidia punctata L. Wang &amp; C.L. Zhao, sp. nov. FIGS. 3–5</p><p>MycoBank no.: 856963</p><p>Diagnosis: Differs from other Exidia species by the smooth hymenophore with white to cream hymenial surface, monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and allantoid basidiospores (13–15.5 × 5–6.5 µm).</p><p>Typification: CHINA. Yunnan Province: Lincang, Fengqing County, Yaojie, Xingyuan, GPS coordinates: 24°15′ N, 99°55′ E, altitude: 1600 m asl., on the fallen angiosperm branch, leg. C.L. Zhao, 23 October 2022, CLZhao 25823 (SWFC!).</p><p>Etymology: punctata (Lat.): refers to the species having dotted basidiomata.</p><p>Basidiomata: Annual, resupinate, closely adnate, membranaceous when dry, without odor or taste when fresh, up to 5 cm long, 3 cm wide, and 400 μm thick. Hymenophore smooth, white (60) when fresh, white (60) to cream (4A2/3) upon drying. Sterile margin narrow, cream (4A2/3), up to 1 mm.</p><p>Hyphal system: Monomitic; generative hyphae with clamp connections, colorless, thin- to thick-walled, smooth, rarely branched, interwoven, 1–3 µm in diameter; IKI–, CB–; tissues unchanged in KOH.</p><p>Hymenium: Cystidia and cystidioles absent. Basidia narrowly ovoid to ellipsoid, longitudinally septate, fourcelled, with a basal clamp septum and four sterigmata (2–20 × 2–4 µm), 18.5–20 × 9–11.5 µm; basidioles numerous, in shape similar to basidia but smaller, 18–19.5 × 9–10 µm.</p><p>Spores: Basidiospores allantoid, with a distinct apiculus, colorless, thin-walled, smooth, usually with one or more oil drops, IKI–, CB–, 13–15.5(–17) × 5–6.5(–7) µm, L = 14.18 µm, W = 5.69 µm, Q = 2.19–2.49 (n = 60/2).</p><p>Additional specimen examined (paratype) — CHINA. Yunnan Province: Zhaotong, Wumengshan National Nature Reserve, GPS coordinates: 27°46′ N, 104°15′ E, altitude: 1900 m asl., on the fallen angiosperm branch, leg. C.L. Zhao, 21 September 2023, CLZhao 33767 (SWFC!).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03882D09121BBF5313C00F5B59EDF7F4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
