Taxonomic Details

The Crepidotaceae have recently undergone a revision based on phylogenetic analyses. The following characters are typical of this family:

  • saprotrophic on woody or herbaceous matter
  • gymnocarpic (having the hymenium open and attached to the surface of the thallus)
  • spore prints that are pale yellow to brown
  • simple cuticle (although some may have pileocystidia)
  • cheilocystidia always present
  • spores entire, smooth or ornamented but never angular or reticulate
