Descriptions
Amylofungus Sheng H. Wu 1996 [1995]
Basidiomata resupinate, effuse. Hymenial surface smooth. Hyphal system monomitic. Hyphae simple-septate, amyloid. Gloeocystidia numerous, clavate or cylindrical, SA+, amyloid. Basidia utriform, four-strigmate, amyloid. Basidiospores globose or subglobose, smooth, thin-walled, amyloid.
Basidiocarpum resupinatum, effusum; superficies hymenialis plana. Systema hypharum monomiticum. Hyphae efibulatae, amyloideae. Gloeocystidia numerosa, cylindrica vel clavata, SA+, amyloidea. Basidia utriformia, 4 sterigmatibus, amyloidea. Basidiosporae globosae vel subglobosae, laeves, tenuitunicatae, amyloideae.
Etymology. From amylo + fungus, referring to the amyloid reaction of the whole fruiting body.
Amylofungus is characterized by the presence of amyloid hyphae, gloeocystidia, basidia and basidiospores. This is the only genus of basidiomycetes that combines these characters. Moreover, the utriform basidia and smooth basidiospores are also characteristic for this new genus. The simple-septate hyphae, as well as subglobose-globose and smooth basidiospores, indicate a close affinity between Amylofungus and Gloiothele.
