Ceriporia inflata

Ceriporia inflata is a species of crust fungus in the family Irpicaceae.

The type specimen of C. inflata was collected from Qiongzhong County (Hainan, China), where it was found growing on rotten angiosperm wood.

[1] Ceriporia inflata has crust-like fruit bodies that become corky or brittle when they are dry.

The pore surface, initially white to cream, later becomes buff or darker in age.

The fungus makes sausage-shaped to cylindrical spores that are smooth, thin-walled, hyaline, and measure 4.7–5.2 by 2–2.4 μm.
