Type material.
Holotype: Australia. Tasmania, Hobart, Mt Wellington, on rotten wood of Eucalyptus , 13 May 2018, Y.C. Dai 18697 (BJFC 027166, isotype in MEL).
Etymology.
Tenuis (Lat.), refers to the species having narrow basidiospores.
Description.
Basidiomata: Annual, resupinate, soft and waxy when fresh, soft corky when dry, up to 10 cm long, 3 cm wide, and approximately 1 mm thick at center; pore surface white when fresh, becoming cream when dry; sterile margin indistinct; pores round, 8-10 per mm; dissepiments thin, entire; subiculum very thin to almost absent; tubes concolorous with poroid surface, up to 1 mm long.
Hyphal structure: Hyphal system dimitic, generative hyphae bearing clamp connections; skeletal hyphae dominant, unbranched, interwoven, 2-3 μm in diam; all hyphae IKI-, CB-, and unchanged in KOH.
Subiculum : Generative hyphae hyaline, thin-walled, frequently branched, 1-2.5 µm in diam, some with distinctly swollen tips which in shape are globose, bottle-shaped or irregularly elongated; skeletal hyphae dominant, unbranched, interwoven, 2-3 μm in diam; rosette-like crystals frequently present, 2.5-10 µm in diam, some irregular rhomboidal crystals present.
Tubes: Generative hyphae hyaline, thin-walled, frequently branched, 1-2.5 µm in diam, some with swollen tips, dominant at dissepiment edges; skeletal hyphae with a narrow lumen to subsolid, unbranched, interwoven, 2-3 µm diam; rosette-like and irregular rhomboidal crystals abundant; cystidia absent; cystidioles present, fusoid, hyaline, thin-walled, swollen at base, with a sharp or often hyphoid neck, 6-25 × 2.5-4.5 μm; basidia barrel-shaped, hyaline, bearing four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 7.3-11 × 3.5-5 μdm; basidioles in shape similar to basidia, but slightly shorter.
Basidiospores: Allantoid, thin-walled, smooth, usually with one or two small guttules, IKI-, CB-, (4.1-)4.2-5(-5.4) × (0.7-)0.8-1(-1.2) μm, L = 4.62 μm, W = 0.95 μm, Q = 4.73-4.95 (n = 60/2).
