EICHLERIELLA 



Plant forming small, adherent patches with the margin free and 

 often a little bracketed, rarely attached only by the center; texture 

 tought, coriaceous or leathery, dry or rarely waxy. Basidia ovate, 

 divided into four cells by longitudinal divisions. Spores long, curved, 

 smooth, white. The genus resembles Corticium or Stereum or Cyphella 

 except 'for the four-celled, ovate basidia. We have but one species, 

 the only one recorded from this state. See Burt, Ann. Uo. Bot. Card.
