03FAD65E947AFF89FF1EAEF8FDAAB73D.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — Odontioidea (Lat.): refers to the species having odontioid hymenial surface due to hyphal pegs.	en	Li, Biao, Ma, Yushuo, Luo, Kaiyue, Zhang, Xin, Li, Zhenhao, Wu, Fang (2025): Epithele odontioidea sp. nov.

03FAD65E947AFF89FF1EAEF8FDAAB73D.taxon	description	Basidiomata: — Annual, resupinate, adnate, farinaceous, without odor and taste, not separable from substrate, up to 15 cm long, 1.5 cm wide, and less than 70 µm thick (hyphal pegs excluded), darkening in KOH. Hymenial surface white to grayish, odontioid due to hyphal pegs; Sterile margins indistinct. Hyphal pegs arising from subiculum, mostly cylindrical and blunt, occasionally subulate, yellowish, randomly arranged, 6 – 7 / mm, 30 – 40 µm wide at base, up to 300 µm high, white to yellowish, coarse; subiculum fairly uniform, fairly thin, 10 – 20 µm thick. Hyphal structure: — Hyphal system monomitic; generative hyphae with clamp connections; IKI –, CB –, tissues unchanged in KOH. Subiculum: — Subicular hyphae hyaline, thin-walled, occasionally branched, frequently with clamp connections, interwoven, 2 – 4 µm diam. Hymenium: — Cystidia and cystidioles absent. Basidia clavate, usually with guttules, with four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 50 – 70 × 6 – 12 µm; basidioles in shape similar to basidia but smaller, usually with several guttules. Basidiospores: — Basidiospores ellipsoid to oblong ellipsoid, usually with tapering apiculus, hyaline, thin- to thick- walled, smooth, usually with guttules, IKI –, CB –, (12.4 –) 13.2 – 18.2 (– 19.8) × (6.4 –) 6.8 – 8.7 (– 9.2) µm, L = 15.61 μm, W = 7.70 μm, Q = 1.95 – 2.07 (n = 90 / 3).	en	Li, Biao, Ma, Yushuo, Luo, Kaiyue, Zhang, Xin, Li, Zhenhao, Wu, Fang (2025): Epithele odontioidea sp. nov.
