Summary: Also listed in Polypores category. Features include 1) resupinate growth on hardwood, 2) a whitish to cream pore surface with angular to maze-like small pores that split to form teeth, 3) spores that are small, elliptic, smooth, inamyloid, and colorless, 4) fusoid cystidioles that barely project, and 5) a monomitic hyphal system, the hyphae with abundant small clamp connections, terminal inflations on some hyphae, others with thick-walled, nonseptate, terminal segments that resemble skeletal hyphae.
