Phlebia leptospermi (G. Cunn.) Stalpers 1985

Hymenial surface even, chrome-yellow at the margin and more orange to reddish brown towards the centre, turning red in KOH. Cystidia hyaline, thin-walled, clavate to capitate, smooth or sometimes (in older parts) covered with resinous material, projecting up to 12 µm. Spores hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, ellipsoid, 4.2-5 X 2-2.3 x 2.2-2.5 µm, not amyloid.
The species, which causes a weak white rot, belongs to Phlebia and is close to Ph. femsjoeensis (Litsch. & Lund.) J. Erikss. & Hjortst., which has a distinct warted to phlebioid hymenial surface and longer cystidia. It also resembles Ph. lilascens (Bourd.) J. Erikss. & Hjortst., which has no cystidia and often a pinkish to violaceous colour.
