Licea pedicellata (Gilbert 1934: 153) Gilbert in Martin (1942: 702). Fig. 11. Description:���Sporocarps black (267), about 450-520 ��m in total height, stalk thick, wrinkled. Stalk continuous with outer peridium. Inner peridium surface warted. Dehiscence into irregular platelets. Spores yellowish brown (74 to 76) by transmitted light, (10.2���) 10.9���11.8 (���12) ��m in diameter, minutely rough by transmitted light, densely covered by small warts under SEM. Material examined:���LOC 22 (MYX 10485). Habitat:���bark of living trees (Quercus mongolica), pH: 5.84 (n = 1). Notes:���The shape of sporocarps of Licea pedicellata is similar to L. rugosa but differs from the former by its finely and densely warted spores (Novozhilov et al. 2017; Figs. 15), which are completely smooth (Fig. 17 J, M) in L. rugosa. Additionally, our specimen of L. pedicellata has larger sporocarps than was noted in the description of L. rugosa (Nannenga-Bremekamp & Yamamoto 1987; Wrigley de Basanta & Lado 2005). This species was previously found in Primorsky Krai (Russia) in the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve (Novozhilov et al. 2017).
