Phanerochaete sp.

The specimen is scanty but it seems morphologically related to Phanerochaete exilis (Burt) Burds. by the small, thick-walled cystidia ( Fig. 14 ). However, it differs in smaller basidiospores (3–4 × 2–2.5 µm), subicular hyphae with scattered clamp connections, and cream to pinkish hymenial surface. In P. exilis basidiospores are 5.5–6.5 × 3–3.5 µm and the hymenial surface is yellowish grey.

Specimen examined: — BRAZIL, Roraima, Alto Alegre - Amajari, Maracá Ecological Station , 25 Sep 2008, on dead trunks, leg. M.A. Jesus, LPM 4620 .
