C04987A93B77FFA2D98783CAFC0D7601.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. — This species is distinguished by its thin and buff colored basidiomata, cracked into pieces when dry, a monomitic hyphal system with thin- to slightly thick-walled generative hyphae, subicular hyphae encrusted with crystals, hyphoid or subulate cystidioles, and ellipsoid to subglobose basidiospores measuring as 4 – 5.3 × 3 – 4.2 μm. Type. — CHINA. Inner Mongolia, Genhe, Jinhe Forestry Bureau, on fallen branch of Populus, 15 September 2015, Cui 12888 (Holotype, BJFC). Etymology. — Bubalina (Lat.): refers to buff colored basidiomata of the species. Basidiomata. — Annual, resupinate, adnate, up to 1 mm thick including aculei, without odor or taste when fresh, cracking into pieces when dry. Hymenial surface buff; aculei conical, 3 – 6 per mm, up to 1 mm long, 0.1 – 0.3 mm diam at base. Subiculum thin, up to 0.2 mm thick. Margin thinning out, buff colored, up to 1 mm wide. Hyphal structure. — Hyphal system monomitic; generative hyphae with clamp connections, IKI –, CB +; tissues unchanged in KOH. Subiculum. — Generative hyphae hyaline, thin- to thick-walled, occasionally branched, flexuous, interwoven, occasionally encrusted with irregular crystals, 2 – 3 μm in diam. Aculei. — Tramal hyphae hyaline, thin- to slightly thick-walled, occasionally branched, more or less parallel along aculei, 2 – 5 μm in diam. Cystidia absent, cystidioles usually present, hyaline, thin-walled, hyphoid or subulate, 24 – 44 × 4 – 6 μm. Basidia clavate, with one or more slightly constrictions, bearing four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 17 – 26 × 3.5 – 4.5 μm; basidioles in shape similar to basidia, but smaller. Spores. — Basidiospores ellipsoid to subglobose, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, usually with one guttule, IKI –, CB –, (3.8 –) 4 – 5.3 (– 5.7) × 3 – 4.2 μm, L = 4.5 μm, W = 3.6 μm, Q = 1.24 – 1.32 (n = 90 / 3). Additional specimens (paratypes) examined. — CHINA. Inner Mongolia, Genhe, Jinhe Forestry Bureau, on fallen trunk of Populus, 15 September 2015, Cui 12887 (BJFC).

C04987A93B77FFA2D98787AEFCE67A46.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. — This species is distinguished by its dirty buff to pale dirty brown hymenial surface with partly confluent or branched aculei, a monomitic hyphal system with thick-walled generative hyphae, clavate to tubular cystidia, and ellipsoid basidiospores measuring as 4.9 – 6.6 × 2.5 – 3.2 μm. Type. — CHINA. Inner Mongolia, Eerguna, Mordaga Forest Park, on fallen trunk of Populus, 17 September 2015 Cui 13239 (Holotype, BJFC). Etymology. — Mongolica (Lat.): refers to the type locality in Inner Mongolia of China. Basidiomata. — Annual, resupinate, adnate, 3 – 5 mm thick including aculei, without odor or taste when fresh. Hymenial surface dirty buff to pale dirty brown, not cracked. Aculei conical or cylindrical, 2 – 4 per mm, up to 4 mm in length, 0.25 – 0.5 mm diam at base, partly confluent at base, sometimes branched apically. Subiculum dirty buff, soft corky, up to 1 mm thick. Hyphal structure. — Hyphal system monomitic; generative hyphae with clamp connections, IKI –, CB +; tissues unchanged in KOH. Subiculum. — Generative hyphae hyaline, slightly thick-walled with a wide lumen, moderately branched, interwoven, 1.5 – 4 μm in diam. Aculei. — Tramal hyphae hyaline, slightly thick-walled with a wide lumen, moderately branched, parallel along aculei, 2.5 – 4 μm in diam. Two kinds of cystidia usually present: (1) clavate with an inflated apical tip, thin-walled at upper part and slightly thick-walled in lower part, 70 – 110 × 7 – 13 μm; (2) tubular with slight constrictions, mostly thin-walled, 65 – 105 × 6 – 8 μm. Basidia clavate, bearing four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 15 – 24 × 4 – 6 μm; basidioles in shape similar to basidia, but distinctly smaller than basidia; hymenium usually collapsed. Spores. — Basidiospores ellipsoid, hyaline, thin-walled, smooth, IKI –, CB –, (4.8 –) 4.9 – 6.6 (– 7) × (2.3 –) 2.5 – 3.2 (– 3.5) μm, L = 5.5 μm, W = 2.9 μm, Q = 1.89 – 1.93 (n = 60 / 2).
