Phlebiodontia subochracea

Corticioid species on decaying decorticated dead wood of broadleaved trees, known until recently as Phlebia subochracea, with resupinate basidiomata, bright yellow to ochraceous, waxy in consistency, and with a poorly differentiated whitish growth margin.

Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae hyaline, thin- to slightly thick-walled, 2.5 to 5 µm wide, septate with clamp connections.

Leptocystidia cylindrical to lageniform, thin-walled, 50 to 65 µm long, 4.5 to 7 µm wide at the base, occasionally bearing faint crystalline encrustations, projecting considerably beyond the basidia.

Basidia cylindrical-clavate, 15 to 20 µm long, 3.5 to 5 µm wide, clamped at the base, 4-spored.

Spores cylindrical-ellipsoidal, smooth, hyaline, thin-walled, with a pointed, slightly curved apicular end, 5 to 6.5 µm long, 2.5 to 3.5 µm wide, containing oil droplets, inamyloid in Melzer's reagent.
