Etymology: Rigidotubus (Lat.): referring to the tough and poroid basidiomata

Diagnosis: Rigidotubus is characterized by resupinate, tough and poroid basidiomata, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, and ovoid to ellipsoid basidiospores.

Basidiomata annual, resupinate, adnate, tough. Pore surface white to gray when dry, pores round to angular, dissepiments thin, entire to lacerate. Margin sterile, irregular, white, up to 3 mm wide. Hyphal system monomitic, generative hyphae hyaline, thin-walled, with clamp connections, IKI–, CB–. Cystidia and cystidioles absent. Basidia clavate, with four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection. Basidiospores ovoid to ellipsoid, thin-walled, hyaline, IKI–, CB–.
