Megasporia

Megasporia B.K. Cui, Y.C. Dai & Hai J. Li 2013, in Cui, et al., Fungal Diversity 97, 137–392 (2019)

Diagnosis: Basidiocarps annual, resupinate. Pore surface cream, white, pale yellowish, ash-gray, honey-yellow to grayish violet. Pores round to angular, large to small. Hyphal system dimitic with clamped generative hyphae; skeletal hyphae strongly to moderately dextrinoid and cyanophilous, rarely to moderately branched. Basidiospores large (longer than 10 µm), cylindrical to ellipsoid, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, IKI–, CB–. Polyhedric crystals present among subhymenium and hymenium.

Index Fungorum Number:  IF801180

Type species: Megasporia hexagonoides (Speg.) B.K. Cui, Y.C. Dai & Hai J. Li 2013, in Cui, et al., Fungal Diversity 97, 137–392 (2019)

Notes: Megasporia was set up recently based on phylogenetic anlysis (Li & Cui 2013). Species in this genus were previously treated in the genus Megasporoporia Ryvarden & J.E. Wright (Dai & Li 2002; Dai & Wu 2004; Cui & Dai 2007; Du & Cui 2009; Li & Cui 2013), these two genera are closely related to and hardly separate from each other in morphology, but phylogenetically, they belong to different clades.
