Phellinus kamahi (G. Cunn.) P.K. Buchanan & Ryvarden 1988

This species belongs in Phellinus Quel., and is similar in colour and pore size to P. punctatiformis (Murr.) Ryv. However, the spores of P. kamahi are larger, 5-7(-8.5) x 2.5-3 µm, although Cunningham (1965) described them as being 4-6 x 1.5-2 µm. A conspicuous feature of P. kamahi is the coarse crystals encrusting generative hyphae at or near the pore mouths. Cystidioles, present in the hymenium, are hyaline, thin-walled, lageniform and often have elongated, tapering necks.
Holotype: PDD 5850; isotype PDD 5849 - New Zealand, Bay of Plenty, Mamaku Forest, 9 Nov. 1947, G.H. Cunningham, on Weinmannia racemosa Linn. f.
