Later analysis of the type (biology), type specimens showed that these two fungi were in fact the same species, today known as ''Cerocorticium molle, C. molle''. Description The basidiocarp, fruit bodies of ''Cerocorticium'' fungi are crust-like, and spread out on the substrate (biology), substrate with a waxy texture. The hymenium, spore-bearing surface is roughly even and light coloured. The hyphal system is monomitic, with hyaline, translucent generative hyphae that have clamp connections. The basidium, basidia are relatively large and club-shaped, with a clamp at the base. Basidiospore, Spores are ...
