Descriptions and remarks

Diagnosis Shallow elongate ellipsoidal or almond-shaped scoops corresponding to the filling of pouches or depressions in the surface and inside wood substrates, usually oriented parallel to the wood fibers along the branch or trunk longitudinal axis. In many cases densely grouped, less commonly up to forming an alveolar structure. Always devoid of associated galleries.


Diagnosis/description: Shallow, elongate, ellipsoidal to almond-shaped scoops; oriented parallel to wood grain; commonly occurring in clusters.
