Grammatus labyrinthinus H.S. Yuan & C. Decock.

Etymology.

grammatus: referring to the hymenophore striped with raised lines.

Basidiocarps annual, resupinate, coriaceous; hymenophoral surface cream to pale buff, covered by evenly distributed blunt-pointed spines or irregularly irpicoid to subporoid, then developing into labyrinthiform to sinuous pores; hymenium restricted to the area surrounding the spines or the bottom of the tubes. Subiculum very thin. Spine or tubes corky, concolorous with hymenophoral surface, shallow. Hyphal system dimitic; generative hyphae bearing clamp connections; skeletal hyphae IKI–, CB+; tissue unchanged in KOH. Skeletocystidia clavate, upper part heavily encrusted. Dendrohyphidia present. Basidia subglobose, longitudinally septate. Basidiospores oblong-ellipsoid to cylindrical, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, IKI–, CB–.
