Taxonomy
[edit]The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1966, with Polyporus obductus as the type species.[1]
Catalogue of Life lists 3 accepted species:[2]
- Osteina obducta (Berk.) Donk
- Osteina rhodophila (Spirin & Zmitr.) Bernicchia & Gorjón
- Osteina undosa (Peck) Zmitr.
Description
[edit]Osteina is characterized by fruit bodies that are sessile to stipitate, which are bone hard when dry. It has a monomitic hyphal system, containing only generative hyphae with clamps. The spores are hyaline and thin-walled, and are inamyloid and acyanophilic. Osteina causes a brown rot in gymnosperm wood.[3]
