Specimen notes
Public Note:
[GS] Growing on a fallen log in broadleaf-podocarp forest. A creamy-white crust-like fungus with pointed teeth or spines hanging down. [JAC] spores minutely roughened, amyloid, 4 x 2.5um, generative hyphae not cyanophilous. Confirmed as D. leptodon. Note that transfer to Dentipellicula by Dai et al is incorrect. It was based on a misidentified specimen of D. leptodon (EU118625) from Uganda. The type of D. leptodon is from Chile and surely near/same as the NZ species. The type species of Dentipellis is D. fragilis and this is congeneric. The type of Dentipellicula is Dentipellicula taiwaniana and is in the wrightoporiaceae. Cunningham had (at least) two similar 'Odontia'. O. oblongispora is now Amylocorticiellum oblongisporum and O. oleifera is now Dentipellis lepton. For cunningham oblongosporum had larger spores but the modern redescriptions remove that difference. For Cunningham oblongosporum had encrusted crystals in the key and diagram but not mentioned in the description. Both species described with smooth spores. Redescription has oblongosporum smooth and oleifera asperulate, but we know that is not a consistent character. Both have amyloid spores.
