Hydnomerulius pinastri is a fungal species of the monotypic genus Hydnomerulius within the
Taxonomy
H. Pinastri is the sole member of the Hydnomerulius genus. Its family is located within the Boletales order of Agaricomycetes, in the Basidiomycotan taxa.
Re-Classification
Described as a member of the Leucogyrophana family in 1976,[3] Hydnomerulius was later coined as a monospecific clade for the species by M. Jarosch and H. Besl in 2001.[4] Placement within the Hydnomerulius genus was determined after sequencing of the 28S gene along with staining characteristics determined this species to be more closely related to members of the Paxillaceae family than other Leucogyrophana.
Description
Fruiting Body
As H. pinastri prepares to sporulate, it begins developing a smooth hymenium tissue at the fungal surface. As the resupinate body develops, it first begins to take a yellowish colour and ripple on the surface, followed by development of short (1-2 mm) hydnoid basidiocarp.[2] Hyphal pigmentation at this time further darkens the bodies into a yellowish brown. Rhizomorphs may be present attaching the hymenophore to blackish sclerotia.[citation needed]
Vegetative Structure
H. pinastri develop mats of densely packed
