Article: Massee, G.E. (1899) [1898]. The fungus flora of New Zealand. Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute 31: 282–349 Wellington:. Description: Pileus very thin, dry, sessile, resupinate or usually attached laterally and spreading like a fan,
entire or variously lobed; pileus tomentose, greyish, 1-6 cm. broad; gills radiating from the
point of attachment, forking, narrow, dry, splitting along the edge, split surfaces minutely
downy, grey, then tinged purplish-brown; spores hyaline, elliptical, apiculate, 5-6 x 4 µ. Habitat: On trunks, branches, and worked wood. Notes: ommon in New Zealand, and very general in tropical and subtropical regions, becoming rare
in colder regions. Very variable, sometimes resupinate and almost entire, usually lateral and
spreading from the point of attachment in a fan-like manner. Sometimes cut into deep narrow
lobes.

Gills widely spaced, divided, radiate, pinkish fawn to dark grey. Context brownish, up to 0.7 mm thick. Basidiospores narrowly oblong to cylindrical, 4–8 × 2–3 μm, smooth, hyaline.

introduced trees and shrubs. Birch (1937b) recorded it as a wound pathogen of Sophora
microphylla, and Taylor and Atkinson (1941) recorded it as a wound pathogen on apple
trees in a neglected orchard in Huapai, Auckland.
