Slo.: belkasta kostenelka - Habitat: Mixed wood, predominantly broad leaved trees and bushes, flat terrain, in shade, cretaceous clastic rock (flysh) bedrock, quite humid place, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 440 m (1.450 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: Dead Corylus avelana branch lying on ground, partly rotten but still in bark, about 4 cm in diameter. - Comments: Growing solitary, young specimen, pileus length about 5 cm (2 inches), quite strong 'mushroomy' smell, flesh leathery, SP faint, may be whitish? When found completely snow white, after two days (when photographed) somewhat beige. Extremely dense and small pores up to 12 pores/mm. Spore smooth, very small; hence measurements unreliable (with my equipment). Dimensions: 3.4 (SD = 0.4) x 0.7 (SD = 0.1) micr., Q = 5.43 (SD = 1.15), n = 22. Motic B2-211A, magnification 1.000 x, oil, in water. - Ref.: (1) A.Bernicchia, Polyporaceae s.l., Edizioni Candusso (2005), p 315.
