038187D99E0BFFC7CD84F53DBABCEF2A.taxon	description	Basidiomata small, pleurotoid. Pileus 20 – 35 mm in diam. and 32 – 65 mm wide, pale pink (OAC 548) with whitecream tones (OAC 785), convex plane with a smooth margin, surface villous, with a more villose / velvety appearance at margin, more abundant near stipe; context thin, fleshy. Hymenophore lamellate lamellae decurrent, close, pale or white (OAC 459), edge entire, continuously concolorous, 32 mm long and 4 mm broad. Stipe very short, laterally inserted, to 9 mm in length and 10 mm in width, squamose / villose, concolorous to pileus. Basidiospores 4.4 – 5.5 × 2 – 2.9 µm (L = 4.9 µm, W = 2.5 µm, Q = 1.69 – 2.45, Qm = 1.99) scarce, ellipsoid to sometimes phaseoliform in shape, hyaline, inamyloid, thin-walled; hylar appendix very small. Basidia difficult to discern, measuring up to 20 × 3.8 µm, clavate, four sterigmata. Pleurocystidia as leptocystidia, 26.5 – 70.6 × 6.1 – 18.6 µm (L = 44.9 µm, W = 13.9 µm, Q = 2.37 – 4.34, Qm = 3.33), sometimes arising deep in the subhymenium and projecting shortly above the level of the other hymenial elements; mostly ventricose-mucronate, frequently with a short obtuse mucro, then occasionally sphaeropenduculate-clavate; colorless, thin-walled. Cheilocystidia 28 – 46.7 × 4 – 9.8 µm (L = 35 µm, W = 6.6 µm, Q = 3.65 – 7.47, Qm = 5.50), versiform, narrowly clavate, narrowly fusoid-ventricose, clavatemucronate to clavate, sometimes capitate, hyaline, colorless, mostly thin to occasionally very slightly thick walled. Lamella trama irregular, with interwoven thin to slightly thick walled 4 – 5 µm wide hyphae, hyaline, inamyloid. Pileipellis a cutis constituted by periclinally arranged narrow septate hyphae 1.5 – 5.1 µm wide, hyaline, slightly thick-walled.	en	Galvão, Vitória Ingrid P., Koroiva, Ricardo, Wartchow, Felipe (2023): A new species of Panus (Panaceae, Polyporales) from Paraíba, Brazil.
