Public Note:
I'm not sure where the orginal det as T. falcatus came from but I'm pretty sure it isn't that. Apart from anything else the spores are very different. Tyromyces falcatus Cunn = Ryvardenia campyla according to NZFUNGI, but this is supposed to have ferugineous upper surface, sclerified basidioles, basidiospores 5-7x4-5um. (Rachenberg 1994). The similar Postia japonica has dextrinoid skeletal hyphae, spores 5x3.25. Also similar is Postia punctata, but that has resinous spots on cap surface (Rachenberg & Buchanan 1996), skeletal hyphae which swell in KOH and are metachromatic. Here pores are 5 per mm, dimitic.skeletal hyphae not dextrinoid, or swelling in KOH, or metachromatic. Tissue clamped, Spores minute, thin allantoid length=3.8–4.3µm (µ=4.0, σ=0.2), width=1.0–1.3µm (µ=1.2, σ=0.1), Q=3.1–3.9µm (µ=3.4, σ=0.3), n=6. Cap surface glabrous. Mild taste. Keys to Cunningham's version T. tephroleucus. Does not fit Cunningham's description of Tyromyces falcatus, or any subsequent interpretation of that taxon, or similar taxa. Amongst modern taxa this seems close to Postia calcarea from China but that does not have the antler-like skeletal hyphae, but surely this is something new.
