Yuan, Hai-Sheng & Yu-Cheng Dai. Two new species of Steccherinum (Basidiomycota) from China. Mycotaxon 93: 173-178. 2005.

ABSTRACT: Steccherinum subglobosum and S. subulatum are described as new species, and illustrations and descriptions of the two species are supplied. S. subglobosum is characterized by effused-reflexed basidiocarps with duplex context, both leptocystidia and skeletocystidia, hyphal pegs, and subglobose basidiospores. The characteristics of S. subulatum are resupinate to effused-reflexed basidiocarps, grayish pink spines, subulate skeletocystidia, and broadly ellipsoid basidiospores.
