N/A (Resupinate, crust-like fungi without a true cap)
Hymenium Attachment
N/A (Directly attached to substrate, covering surfaces in a crust-like layer)
Stipe
N/A (Lacks a stipe, growing directly on wood)
Spore print
Spore print brown
Ecology
Saprobic and wood-decaying, commonly found on damp, decaying wood in buildings and forested environments; known as a significant cause of brown rot in timber structures, persisting year-round
Ecology
Inedible and potentially hazardous due to its role in structural wood decay
Fruit body
Fruit body forms crust-like patches, 1–4 mm thick, can cover extensive areas on wood surfaces
Dimensions
Spread patches can vary greatly in size, up to several meters in favorable conditions
Odour
Odour often described as musty or unpleasantly earthy, especially in confined, damp spaces
Microscopy
Ellipsoidal, smooth, 6–8 x 4–5 µm, brownish, inamyloid, produced on a smooth hymenial layer
