Corticium luteoaurantiacum Wakef. 1915

Fungus efusus, tennis, ceraceus. Hymenium sulphurinum vel ochraceo-aurantiacum, laeve; subiculum ambitusque albida. Basidia clavata, 4-sterigmatica, 30-40 x 6-7 µ. Adsunt quoque cystidiola numerosa, subulata, apice acuta, granulis aurantiacis incrustata, alia obducta, alia usque ad 36 µ emergentia, 45-50 x 4-5 µ. Sporae oblongae, hyalinae, 5 x 2.5-3 µ, uniguttulatae. Hyphae basales hyalinae, granulis luteis leviter incrustatae, valde ramosae, septatae, diametro.
A beautiful and conspicuous species with its bright yellow colour varying to tawny orange. In the possession of slender crystidioles [sic], it is allied to C. ochraceo-favum Bourd. & Galz.; but it differs in the more brilliant colouring and softer (less horny) consistency when dry. The colouring matter is soluble in alkalies, forming a bright yellow solution.
Hab. On wood; Mamaku, near Rotorua, New Zealand.
