Rhodonia placenta
Rhodonia placenta
A species of Rhodonia.
The fruiting body of Rhodonia expands across its substrate, exhibiting a porous texture. It is quite substantial, succulent, and tender, displaying a coloration ranging from light pink to white. Its hyphal system is monomitic, meaning it consists solely of generative hyphae, which are characterized by clamp connections. Initially, these hyphae possess thin walls, but as the fruit body matures, their walls thicken. The spores are cylindrical in shape.
