Description
A combination of characteristics found in Rickiopora distinguish it from other polypore genera. It has fruit bodies that become corky to tough and brittle when dried. The hyphal system is monomitic, consisting of clamped and metachromatic generative hyphae (staining a reddish purple when mounted in cresyl blue), and thick-walled hyphae with sparse clamps. The spores are ellipsoid to ovoid, measuring 11–16 by 4–7 μm. Rickiopora features both a bipolar mating system, and astatocenocytic nuclear behaviour.
