Cinereomyces Jülich 1982, in Gorjón, Studies in Fungi 5(1), 180 (2020).
Diagnosis: Basidiome annual, resupinate, becoming widely effused, soft to tough, margin white, narrow to wide. Pore surface white to grayish, pores circular, context white and cottony, azonate. Hyphal system di- to trimitic, generative hyphae with clamps, hyaline. thin-walled, skeletal hyphae straight to sinuous, thick-walled to solid, non-septate, rarely branched, gelatinizing and disappearing in KOH, weakly amyloid in Melzer's reagent, most easily seen in hyphal masses, binding hyphae narrow and richly branched, observed only in the context, apparently rare. Cystidia none, but fusoid, non-projecting cystidiols occur scattered among the basidia. Basidia clavate, 4-sterigmate, with a basal clamp. Basidiospores allantoid to cylindrical, hyaline, thin-walled, negative in Melzer’s reagent. Causing a white rot.
