Syncoryne in its white branched basidiomata and 4 - spored basidia.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Basidiomata (Fig. 2 a, b) branched, brittle, scattered, or gregarious clusters; clusters 10–50 mm high, 10–30 mm broad; branches terete, 1–3 mm wide, 2–4 times, dichotomous, or irregularly divergent in the ultimate rank; branch tips subacuminate, often antler-like or claw-like. Fertile part coralloid, smooth, slightly curved, occasionally with a longitudinal depression in center, white [A 1; White]. Apex white, becoming yellowish or tawny with age. Sterile part distinct, white, smooth, without tomentum and mycelial patch. Flesh concolorous with surface of basidiomata.</p><p>Basidiospores (Fig. 3 a) [100 / 6 / 4] (4.0) 4.2–5.0 × (2.4) 2.7–3.8 (4.0) μm [Q = (1.25) 1.26–1.56 (1.60), Q = 1.39 ± 0.10], mostly ellipsoid, sometimes also broadly ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline, nonamyloid, thin-walled; hilar appendix small (&lt;1.0 μm in length). Basidia (Fig. 3 b) 48–65 × 6.5–9.0 μm, clavate, 4 - spored, hyaline, thin-walled or slightly thick-walled, sometimes with secondarily septated; sterigmata up to 5.2 μm long. Incrustations or crystals absent. Hyphae of the context parallel, thin-walled, hyaline, cylindrical to inflated, secondarily septated. Clamp connections absent in all parts of basidiomata.</p><p>Habitat, ecology, and distribution.</p><p>Scattered or gregarious in humus layers of soil under mixed coniferous – broadleaved forests or broadleaved forests. Basidiomata produced in summer, usually throughout the months of July to August; known from subtropical zones of Central and Southwestern China.</p><p>Additional specimens examined.</p><p>China • Hunan Province: Yongshun County, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=110.20386&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=28.796066" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 110.20386/lat 28.796066)">Xiaoxi National Nature Reserve</a>, alt. 1068 m, 28°47'45.84"N, 110°12'13.89"E, 28 August 2014, P.
