Identification keys
Dacrymyces
1
Basidiocarps variable in shape, pustulate, pulvinate, applanate, or complicate, sessile or stipitate with a flabellate, spathulate or convoluted pileus; hymenium, amphigenous, well defined cortex absent, thin- or thick-walled hairs occasionally present on base of basidiocarp or stipe
Basidiocarps turbinate, pezizoid, or cupulate, sessile to stipitate; hymenium confined to surface of disc or interior of cup; well defined cortex present, composed of a palisade of thin-or thick-walled, septate hairs
4
Basidiospores 3-7-septate; dikaryophyses simple or sparingly branched apically, with clamp connections throughout their length
7
Basidiocarps drying dark brown to dull black, 3-4 mm diam.; basidiospores 11-15.5 x 4.5-6.5 um
Basidiocarps drying reddish brown to dark brownish black, less than 3 mm diam.; basidiospores 13.5-21 x 5-7 um
9
Basidiocarps pallid amber to brown when fresh, drying dark brown to black; basidiospores 11-17.5 x 5-6.5 um, 3-septate
Basidiocarps pallid yellow or yellow-buff when fresh, drying dull brown, reddish brown or rust coloured; basidiospores 13-18 x 4-7 um, 1-3-septate
13
Basidiospores constantly 1-septate, 8-12 x 3- um; basidiocarpsturbinate or stipitate with an undulate-discoid or semi-flabellate pileus
14
Basidiocarps large, 4-18 mm diam., to 20 mm high, stoutly stipitate;pileus hemispherical, irregularly flabellate or spathulate; basidiospores 10.5-15.5 x 3.3-4.5 um, 3-septate, septa thickened
16
Basidiocarps minute, 0.2-1 mm diam.; probasidia stoutly cylindricalsubclavate; thick-walled hairs present at base of basidiocarp
Basidiocarps 1-4mm diam.; probasidia slender; arthrospores often present in separate fructifications or occasionally mixed with basidia
19
Basidiocarps often short-stipitate, attached by a whitish radicating base, cerebriform; basidiospores 11-17 x 3.5-7 um, 3-septate
Basidiocarps turbinate or piston-shaped; basidiospores 9-13.5 x 3.5-4.5 um, 1-(3)-septate
20

21
Probasidia basally inflated, obclavate; basidiospores strongly allantoid, 20-28.5 x 5.5-7.7 um, 15 or more septate
22
Apically branched dikaryophyses present; basidiospores curved cylindrical, 15.5-23.6 x 4.7-6.8 um, 7-12-septate
23
Basidiospores inflated-cylindrical, 15-24 x 6-9.5 um, 7-septate; basidiocarps stipitate and pileate
Basidiocarps extremely variable in shape, pulvinate, flabellate, stipitate with a spathulate, cupulate, convoluted or patellate pileus, often forming carebriform or complicate masses; basidiospores 7-septate, septa thickened, distinct
Clamp connections absent; probasidia obclavate or urniform; basidiospores oblong-elliptical to broadly elliptical, 17.5-26.5 x 9-12 um
27
Basidiocarps large, to 10 mm diam., sessile, margins conspicuous, involute; basidiospores 16.5-27.5 x 5.5-8.5 um, 7-(11)-septate
28
Basidiocarps turbinate, to 6 mm high; basidiospores thin-walled, 18.5-26.5 x 6.5-11 um, 7-septate
29
Basidiospores consistently thick-walled with thickened septa, often muriform, 24-32 x 7.5-11 um, transversely 7-septate, frequently with 1-3-(5) longitudinal septa
Basidiospores typically thin-walled, occasionally thick-walled with irregularly thickened septa, rarely muriform
30
