Type species.

Phanerina mellea (Berk. & Broome) Miettinen.

Description.

Basidiocarps resupinate, yellow, fragile, pores shallow and large (1-4 per mm). Hyphal structure monomitic, simple-septate, loose, hyphae not swollen, wider (4-5 µm in diameter) in subiculum, a bit narrower in trama (3-4 µm). Hymenial branching corymb-like, subulate thin-walled cystidia present. Spores rather large (6 –7× 3 µm), cylindrical to narrowly ellipsoid.

Remarks.

This monotypic genus comes close to Riopa both morphologically and phylogenetically, though the two do not seem to form a monophyletic group (Figure 2). Morphological differences are summarized in Table 2.
