[2] The species was later transferred to the genera Mycoleptodon by Albert Pilát in 1934,[3] Steccherinum by Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus in 1962,[4] and Irpex by Heikki Kotiranda & Reima Saarenoksa in 2002.

The spore-bearing surface, or hymenium, is hydnoid—that is, bearing structures resembling small conical spines measuring 0.5–5 mm long.

[6] Metuloidea murashkinskyi has a dimitic hyphal structure with thick-walled sclerified generative hyphae that are 5–7 μm.

[7] Metuloidea murashkinskyi is a white rot fungus that feeds on the dead wood of deciduous trees.

[11] Metuloidea murashkinskyi can be confused with old specimens of Irpex lacteus, as it can occasionally be poroid instead of hydnoid.
