Amylonotus is a genus of poroid fungi in the Bondarzewiaceae (Russulales). It was described by Ryvarden to classify species with amyloid spores and specific hyphal structures that did not fit into other polypore or hydnoid genera. It is a small genus with few described species.
Basidiocarps annual, sessile-pileate, effused-reflexed or resupinate; soft-leathery when fresh, leathery to brittle when dry; cap surface cinnamon to dark brown. Pores large, labyrinthine to daedaleoid. Hyphal system dimitic: generative hyphae with clamp connections (unlike the simple-septate Bondarzewia and Heterobasidion), skeletal hyphae dextrinoid. Gloeoplerous hyphae and gloeocystidia present or absent; other cystidia absent. Basidiospores ellipsoid to subglobose, hyaline, finely asperulate, amyloid and cyanophilous. Causes a white rot.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
Mycology is an evolving science: names, classifications and safety information change as research advances. Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
