Holotype.

China. Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Alxa County, Beisi Forest Park , on fallen branch of Pinus tabuliformis , 18 September 2022, Dai 24540 ( BJFC 039782 About BJFC ).

Etymology.

Tabuliformis (Lat.) : refers to the species growing on Pinus tabuliformis .

Diagnosis.

Hapalopilus tabuliformis is characterized by resupinate to effused-reflexed basidiomata having a pale pink to buff-yellow pileal surface and purple coloration in KOH solution, small pores 3–5 per mm, the absence of cystidioles, long and narrow basidia measuring 18–31 × 3.2–5.8 μm, broadly ellipsoid basidiospores measuring 3.2–4 × 2.6–3.2 μm, and growing on Pinus tabuliformis in western China.

Fruitbody.

Basidiomata annual, resupinate to effused-reflexed, adnate, soft corky and without odor or taste when fresh, becoming brittle to hard corky upon drying. Pilei projecting up to 0.9 cm, 1.2 cm wide and 3 mm thick at base. Pileal surface pale pink to buff-yellow when fresh, becoming honey-yellow when dry. Pore surface light vinaceous gray to grayish violet when fresh, becoming buff to grayish brown when dry; margin cream to pale ochraceous, fimbriate and thinning out when resupinate, up to 1 mm wide; pores angular to irregular, 3–5 per mm; dissepiments thin, entire to lacerate. Context honey and corky when dry, up to 2 mm thick, becoming purple in KOH solution. Tube layer concolorous with pore surface, corky, up to 1 mm deep.

Hyphal structure.

Hyphal system monomitic; generative hyphae bearing clamp connections, richly encrusted with fine yellowish crystals (dissolved in KOH solution), IKI –, CB –; tissue becoming purple in KOH solution.

Context.

Generative hyphae hyaline, slightly thick- to thick-walled, occasionally branched, interwoven, 2–4.3 µm in diam.

Tubes.

Generative hyphae hyaline, thin- to slightly thick-walled, frequently branched, interwoven, flexuous, 3–5.9 µm in diam. Cystidia and cystidioles absent. Basidia clavate to pyriform, bearing four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 18–31 × 3.2–5.8 μm; basidioles similar in shape to basidia, but smaller.

Spores.

Basidiospores broadly ellipsoid, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, usually with a guttule, IKI –, CB –, (3 –) 3.2–4 (– 4.2) × (2.5 –) 2.6–3.2 (– 3.4) μm, L = 3.68 μm, W = 2.76 μm, Q = 1.25 (n = 60 / 2).

Ecology and distribution.

Growing on fallen branches of Pinus tabuliformis . Known from the type location only.

Type of rot.

White rot.
