Holotype.
China. Yunnan Province: Puer, Jingdong County, Taizhong Town, Ailaoshan National Nature Reserve, on fallen branch of angiosperm, 24 August 2018, CLZhao 8605 (holotype in SWFC).
Etymology.
The epithet
macrosporus
(Lat.): refers to the larger basidiospores.
Basidiomata.
Annual, resupinate, subceraceous when fresh, becoming pruinose upon drying, up to 22 cm long and 3 cm wide, 100-200
µm
thick. Hymenial surface reticulate, cream when fresh, turning cream to buff upon drying. Margin narrow, white to buff.
Hyphal system.
Monomitic; generative hyphae with clamp connections, hyaline, thick-walled, branched, 2.5-4
µm
in diameter, IKI-, cyanophilous; tissues unchanged in KOH. Numerous crystals present among hyphae.
Hymenium.
Three kinds of cystidia: 1) capitate, hyaline, thin-walled, 19-35
x
3-7
µm
; 2) tapering, hyaline, thin-walled, 13-20

; 3) moniliform, hyaline, thin-walled, 15-22
x
4.5-6
µm
; fusoid cystidioles present, hyaline, thin-walled, 15-20
x

µm
. Basidia subclavate to clavate, constricted, hyaline, thin-walled, with four sterigmata and a basal clamp connection, 22.2-38
x
4.5-7
µm
.
Spores.
Basidiospores ellipsoid, hyaline, slightly thick-walled, smooth, IKI-, cyanophilous, guttulate, (6.4-)6.7-8.9(-9.1)
x
4.4-5.4(-5.7)
