Summary:
Features include flat loosely attached growth on wood, a yellow pore surface, a margin with yellow rhizomorphs, amyloid spores, and other microscopic characters. This species is very rare (Gilbertson). The description is derived from Gilbertson(1) except where noted.
Anomoloma albolutescens has been found in BC, WA, OR, ID, also AB, AK, CO, IN, MI, NC, NY, TN, and VT, (Gilbertson)
Cap:
up to 0.3cm thick, small to widely spread out, flat on wood with pore surface exposed, easily separable, soft, brittle, margin usually wide, fimbriate (fringed), and with rhizomorphs; "cream to pale chrome yellow, darkening to distinct yellow, often with an orange brown tint when dry", rhizomorphs yellow, subiculum yellow
Pores:
2-4 per mm., angular, thin-walled, "pore surface cream to pale chrome yellow, darkening to distinct yellow, often with an orange brown tint when dry"; tube layer up to 0.2cm thick, colored as pores
Microscopic:
spores 3-5 x 2.5-3.5 microns, elliptic to nearly round, smooth, amyloid, colorless, thin-walled; basidia 4-spored, 17-22 x 5.5-7 microns, clavate, with basal clamp connection; cystidia and other sterile hymenial elements absent; hyphal system monomitic, generative hyphae with clamp connections, in the subiculum and margin 2.5-5 microns wide, smooth to finely encrusted, thin to slightly thick-walled, sparingly branched, in trama and subhymenium 2-4 microns wide, thin-walled, smooth
