Punctochaete J.H.Dong & C.L.Zhao gen. nov.
MycoBank: MB854043
Diagnosis
Punctochaete gen. nov. differs from other genera in the order Auriculariales by its membranaceous basidiomata, greyish white, punctate hymenial surface, monomitic hyphal system with clamp connections, subcylindrical to subclavate cystidia, frequently branched hyphidia, ellipsoid to ovoid, longitudinally septate basidia, and cylindrical to allantoid, slightly curved basidiospores.
Etymology
The name ‘ Punctochaete ’ refers to the punctate hymenial surface of the holotype.
Description
Basidiomata resupinate, membranaceous, very hard to separate from substrate. Hymenial surface punctate, greyish white when fresh, greyish white to cream to pale pink upon drying. Hyphal system monomitic; generative hyphae with clamp connections, colorless, thin-walled. Cystidia subcylindrical to subclavate, thin-walled. Hyphidia abundant, covering hymenium, frequently branched, thin-walled. Basidia ellipsoid to ovoid, longitudinally septate, two- to four-celled, colorless. Basidiospores cylindrical to allantoid, slightly curved, colorless, thin-walled, smooth, IKI–, CB–.
