Hyde gen. nov. Etymology. Named after its habitat as an endophyte of Pandanus . Type species. Endopandanicola thailandica Tibpromma & K.D. Hyde Culture characteristics. Colonies on PDA (PE60), superficial, initially white, later becoming yellow-white, smooth at the surface, irregular, with undulate margin, flossy to velvety; reverse white to yellow-white. Generative hyphae simple-septate, branched, sub-hyaline, thin-walled. Notes. Endopandanicola formed a single, well-supported clade (100 % in ML, 100 % in MP), which is distinct as compared to other genera in Polyporaceae (Figure 3). This genus comprises resupinate or crust polypores that live inside leaves or wood as endophytes and do not form fruiting bodies (sexual morph), but form flat mycelia. More collections of Pandanus are needed in the future to locate the sexual morph of Endopandanicola .
