Osteina obducta is a fungal species in the family Dacryobolaceae. The genus and species was circumscribed by mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1966, making Osteina obducta the type species.[2]
Description
[edit]Osteina obducta 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 obducta causes a brown rot in gymnosperm wood.[3]
Osteina obducta is inedible.[4]
