Description.
Basidiocarps medium to large sized, stout, agaricoid, with obvious plate-like squamules. Basidiospores olive to greenish-white, thick-walled, ellipsoid to amygdaliform with a truncate apex, except for
C. palaeotropicum
, which produce subglobose basidiospores without germ pore. Cheilocystidia broadly clavate to sphaeropedunculate. Pileipellis is a palisade of hyphae with terminal elements clavate to subfusiform.
Discussion.
This section contains the type species of this genus,
C. molybdites
and also
C. globosum
,
C. pseudoglobosum
, as well as the novel taxon
C. palaeotropicum
.
