Species Information
Summary:
Features include 1) resupinate growth on hardwoods, especially Populus species, 2) soft wax-like fruitbodies, the mealy surface with sparse warts or spines up to 0.1cm long, the color light pink to flesh-colored, turning wine-red when injured, the margin whitish, somewhat fringed, distinctly bounded and at times somewhat lifted, 3) spores that are cylindric, slightly curved, smooth, inamyloid, colorless, with droplets, 4) hypobasidia that are longitudinally septate with 2-4 epibasidia, and 5) hyphae with clamp connections.
Microscopic:
SPORES 12-18 x 6-7 microns, cylindric, slightly allantoid [curved], smooth, inamyloid, colorless, with droplets, some spores forming secondary spores; HYPOBASIDIA 30-40 x 10-12 microns, clavate to cylindric, longitudinally septate, with 2-4 epibasidia up to 5 microns wide; CYSTIDIA not seen; hyphae in hymenium 2-3 microns wide, thin-walled, sparsely septate, with clamp connections; BASAL HYPHAE 2-3 microns wide, thick-walled, sinuous, gnarled, (Breitenbach)
Notes:
Eichleriella deglubens has been found in BC, OR, ID, AB, MB, NT, ON, and AK, (Ginns). It also occurs in Europe including Switzerland, (Breitenbach).
Habitat and Range
SIMILAR SPECIES
Corticium roseum, Peniophora incarnata, and some resupinate Stereum spp. are similar macroscopically in certain respects but lack the scattered small spines on the hymenium (easily visible with hand lens) and they are different microscopically, (Breitenbach).Habitat
on hardwoods especially Populus species, associated with a white rot, (Ginns), on dead parts of living Fraxinus (ash) and Fagus (beech), as well as on dead branches and trunks on ground, fall-spring, (Breitenbach), all year (Buczacki)
