Strain identification: Morphological examinations revealed that the fungus had imbricate and laterally fused basidiocarp that upon drying gets hard corky. The hyphal system was dimitic and the hyphae generative with clamp connections. The basidiospores were thick-walled, smooth, ellipsoid and yellowish in color. These characters corroborated with reports of genus Abundisporus in the literature. Accurate identification was confirmed by DNA sequence analysis of the LSU (large subunit) and ITS rDNA.
