Niemelaea consobrina

On decaying ground wood of broadleaves, with completely resupinate basidiocarps up to 1.5 mm thick, easily separable from the substrate, pale cream, with angular pores becoming lacerate to dentate with development, 1 to 3 pores per mm, and a concolorous tube layer up to 1 mm thick.

Hyphal system monomitic, with generative hyphae only: subhymenial hyphae hyaline, thin-walled, 2 to 4 µm in diameter; subicular hyphae covered with abundant fine encrustations over their entire surface; all septate and clamped.

Cystidia absent, but with scattered cystidioles slightly shorter than the basidia.

Basidia clavate, 15 to 22 µm long, 4 to 6 µm wide, with basal clamp connections and four-spored.

Spores subglobose to ellipsoidal, smooth, hyaline, thin-walled, 3.5 to 4.5 µm long, 2.5 to 3 µm wide, mean Q ratio 1.5, with an inconspicuous eccentric apiculus at one end, and inamyloid in Melzer's reagent.
