Notes: This species is characterized by the poroid basidiomata with apricot-orange to dark orange surface with a reddish tinge, and a monomitic hyphal structure having generative hyphae with clamp connections and ellipsoid, colorless, thin-walled, smooth basidiospores (Zhao & Cui 2014). In the present study, it groups into genus Phlebicolorata based on the phylogenetic tree and we propose to transfer it to this genus as a new combination.
