Abstract
Abstract — Peniophora laeta is easily recognized because it is restricted to Carpinus as host in Europe, and the reddish yellow fruitbody is provided with prominent teeth or hyphal pegs, disrupting the bark when developing. P. pseudonuda was earlier not even thought of as related to P. laeta, because fruitbodies are smooth and developing on the bark. Moreover, fruitbody initiation starts with a thin layer of brown-pigmented hyphae on bark surface. This render a bluish tint to the mature fruitbody which is in striking contrast to the orange-yellow basidiomata found in P. laeta. Nevertheless, both ITS sequences and crossing tests show that P. pseudonuda is conspecific with P. laeta. This was confirmed also by similarity in spore, basidia and cystidia morphology.
