Crepidotus applanatus is a species of fungi in the family Crepidotaceae. It was first described in 1796 by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon and renamed by Paul Kummer in 1871.[1][2] It is inedible.[3]

Description[]

Like other Crepidotus, it has brown spore powder. 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 5 cm across and is hygrophanous, white to ochraceous when damp and drying whitish. The spores, around 5 - 6 µm, are almost spherical and warty. 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]
