Remarks: This species is characterized by thin, papyraceous, flabelliform, cream to beige (becoming pale brown with age) basidiomes with tiny pores (5-6 per mm) ( Gomes-Silva et al. 2010; Ryvarden 2016) Trametes pavonia (Hook.) Ryvarden has a similar morphology, but the cylindrical basidiospores of Trametes membranacea distinguish it.
