Cerocorticium is a genus of seven species of crust fungi in the family Meruliaceae.
Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings in 1900, as a member of the family Thelephoraceae. Hennings included two species, C. tjibodense, and the type, C. bogoriense, both collected on Java.[1] Later analysis of the type specimens showed that these two fungi were in fact the same species,[2] today known as C. molle.[3]
Description
The fruit bodies of Cerocorticium fungi are crust-like, and spread out on the substrate with a waxy texture. The spore-bearing surface is roughly even and light coloured. The hyphal system is monomitic, with translucent generative hyphae that have clamp connections. The basidia are relatively large and club-shaped, with a clamp at the base. Spores are smooth, translucent, and have a large apiculus.[2]
