editThe fungus is characterized by fruit bodies that are annual, sessile, fan-shaped, dimidiate, or semicircular. The cap surface is smooth, yellowish-brown, and has concentric parallel grooves. Fresh specimens have a rose to pink margin around the pore surface; the pores are round, numbering 3–4 per millimetre. D. hainanensis has a trimitic hyphal system, and the generative hyphae have clamp connections. There are dendrohyphidia and hyphal pegs in the hymenium. spores are sausage shaped to cylindrical, measuring 6–8 by 1.7–2.2 μm.[1]
