            Diagnosis: Basidiome perennial, resupinate to pileate, widely effused and tough; pileal surface at first light brown and finely tomentose, soon darker and smooth with a distinct thin black cuticle. Pore surface light cream, pores regular, round to angular, mostly small, context white to light cream, dark reddish brown with Melzer's reagent. Hyphal system dimitic, generative hyphae thin-walled, simple septate, skeletal hyphae dominating in the basidiome, dextrinoid, unbranched or with a few branches. Cystidia none. Basidia clavate, with 4-sterigmate, simple-septate at the base. Basidiospores broadly ellipsoid to globose, hyaline, thin to slightly thick-walled, finely asperulate, negative in Melzer’s reagent.
