Merulius miniatus Wakef. 1931

Resupinatus, effusus, arcte adnatus, tenuis, mollis, circiter 10 cm. longus, 1-2 cm. latus, margine indeterminato aurantiaco. Hymenium miniatum, poroso-reticulatum, sicco facile e subiculo separandum. Contextus 140-160 µ crassus, ex hyphis hyalinis, 2-4 µ diametro, tenuiter tunicatis, non nodoso-septatis, laxe intertextis, compositus. Basidia clavata, 4-sterigmatica, 15-18 x 5 µ. Sporae hyalinae, allantoideae, 5-6 x 1-1.5 µ. Gloeocystidia cylindrica vel fusiformia, 40-60 x 5-7 µ, tenuiter tunicata, succo rubido repleta, e plicis ad 20 µ emergentia.
In general appearance this species recalls Poria taxicola (Pers.) Bres. and Merulius Ravenelii, but the colour is brighter than in either. From Poria taxicola it differs in the narrower basal hyphae and from M. Ravenelii in the presence of thin-walled gloeocystidia, with coloured contents, on the folds of the hymenium.
NEW ZEALAND. York Bay, Wellington, on dead twigs on the forest floor, E J. Butler, No. 1218, July 1923.
