Crepidotus applanatus is a species of fungus in the family Crepidotaceae. It was first described in 1796 by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon and renamed by Paul Kummer in 1871.[1][2]
Description
It grows on deciduous wood, to which it is attached at the side by at most only a rudimentary stem (it is "pleurotoid"). The cap grows up to 4 centimetres (1+1⁄2 in) wide[3] and is hygrophanous, white to ochraceous when damp and drying whitish. The spores, around 5–6 μm, are almost spherical and warty.[citation needed] It has a brown spore print.[3]
There are many lookalikes.[3] It is distinguished from the very similar Crepidotus stenocystis by the shape of the cheilocystidia (clavate and unbranched) and the habitat on broad-leaf timber.[4][5]
It is inedible.[6]
