            Diagnosis: Basidiome discrete, coriaceous, flabelliform, pileus tending to split radially into wedge-shaped segments, glabrous, hymenial surface smooth, stipe lateral, very short or rudimentary, attached to the substrate by a thin, closely appressed, creamy-ochre coloured mycelial disc. Hyphal system mono- to dimitic, generative hyphae with clamps, thin- to thick-walled, some segments become conspicuously inflated up to 25 μm wide, skeletal hyphae in the stipe and basal portion of the basidiome. Cystidia and gloeocystidia absent. Basidia clavate, often with one large oil globule or a number of smaller guttules in the apical portion, 4-spored.
