There are 89 Phlebia species.
Seen in Australia as Myoacia subceracea but this is generally regarded as a synonym.
Phlebia species are mostly crust fungi that cause white rot.
The Golden Splash Tooth is a crust fungus forming flat patches on the underside of rotting wood.
The waxy, yellow teeth have blunt tips and are sometimes flattened.
The teeth taper towards the tips so the spores can easily fall off.
The spore bearing basidia are on the surface of the teeth.
Spores are white.
Phlebia uda, the Pale-Yellow Tooth, is paler and has teeth with pointed tips.
