Description
editFibroporia albicans is characterized by crust-like, annual fruit bodies with a white to cream-colored fresh pore surface that darkens to cream or cream-buff after drying. The pores are small, measuring 6–8 per millimeter, and there are white to cream rhizomorphs. Fibroporia albicans has a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, fuse-shaped cystidioles, and oblong to ellipsoid spores that measure 4–5.2 by 3–3.8 μm.[1]
