八重山諸島で普通に見られるニセホウライタケの仲間で、マレーシアとオーストラリアにおいて本種と外観が酷似した類似菌が知られています。
和名の「シラガ」は、幼菌が白髪のような毛に被われることに由来します。
4月～11月、シシアクチなどの常緑低木の枯れ枝上に発生します。今のところ確実な分布は八重山諸島のみですが、沖縄本島地方並びに台湾にも分布している可能性があります。

コメント: 明るい色素を欠き, 相対的に長い (7 mm以下) 中心性の柄, 幅9 μm以下の楕円形の担子胞子, そして側シスチジアを欠く性質は本種がニセホウライタケ属Crinipellis, ニセホウライタケ節section Crinipellis, ニセホウライタケ亜節subsection Crinipellis (Singer 1942, 1986) に属することを示唆している.
亜節内においてシラガニセホウライタケは径10 mm以下の小形の傘と複数の付属糸を持つ縁シスチジアの特徴において以下の新熱帯産分類群に近縁と思われる: Crinipellis pseudostipitaria Singer (Pegler, 1983; Singer, 1942); Crinipellis septotricha Singer (Pegler, 1983; Singer, 1942); Crinipellis stupparia (Berk. & M.A.Curtis) Pat. (Pegler, 1983). しかしながらこれら新熱帯産分類群は傘が乳頭状中丘を形成し, 根元に発達した菌糸体を欠くと言われている. さらにC. pseudostipitariaは草本の残骸から発生し, またC. septotricha および C. stuppariaは毛状末端細胞に梯子状二次隔壁を有する. スリランカ産Crinipellis omotricha (Berk.) D.A. Reid (Pegler, 1986) も本種に類似するが, 縁シスチジアは付属糸を欠き, 草本を基質とする点でシラガニセホウライタケと異なる. マレーシア産Crinipellis hepatica Corner (Corner, 1996) はシラガニセホウライタケに最も近縁と考えられるが, 傘は赤褐色を帯びること, 柄の根元に発達した菌糸体を持たないこと, 亜紡錘形の偽担子器を形成すること, そして付属糸を欠く縁シスチジアを有する性質において本種と区別できる.
Kerekes and Desjardin (Kerekes and Desjardin 2009) はマレーシア産標本を用いたITS領域の分子解析データに基づき Moniliophthora属 (Evans et al. 1978; Aime and Phillips-Mora 2005) に本種を転属させた.
Moniliophthora属は, ホウライタケ科に属し、基準種に指定されている南米産 Monilia roreri は、英語で魔女の箒 (witches’ broom) と呼ばれるカカオのてんぐ巣病の起因菌（the causal agent of witches’ broom of cacao）で, 最初子嚢菌の不完全世代として記載された. 既知種については、今のところ16分類群（Index Fungorum）知られており, Moniliophthoraは一般に明るい色素 (赤, 紫赤, 深紅, 紫灰, 青紫) を有し、アルカリ溶液により緑変しない性質があり, 植物寄生性であるのに対し, ニセホウライタケ属は腐生性であるという生態的相違はあるが, 両属の形態学的区別は難しく, ニセホウライタケ属 (Crinipellis) に置かれている分類群についても, 特にSinger (1986)の分類概念による Sect. Iopodinaeは将来的に Moniliophthora属と統合される可能性がある. もし両属が系統的に同一分岐群であることが証明された場合は, 命名規約上ニセホウライタケ属が有効名になるが, 現時点では Moniliophthora属の和名をシラガニセホウライタケ属としておく.

Etymology: The specific epithet refers to the hoary fibrils enveloping the pileus and stipe.
Macromorphological characteristics (Figs. 47–51): Pileus 6–15 mm in diameter, at first hemispherical with incurved margin, then convex to plane, sometimes with an obtuse umbo or depressed center, radially sulcate-striate up to the disk; surface dry, covered overall with white, fine, pubescent hairs, at first reddish brown (8F7–8, 9F7–8) under hoary fibrils, then brown (7E7–8, 8E7–8) at center, brownish yellow (5C7–5C8) to yellowish brown (5D7–5D8) toward the ciliate-villose margin, orange (6B8) to brownish orange (6C8) when wet. Flesh very thin (up to 0.3 mm), concolorous with the surface, pliant, tough, odor and taste none. Stipe 10–15 × 0.5–1 mm, almost equal or slightly enlarged at the base, central, slender, terete, hollow, at first white overall, then brown (7E7–8, 8E7–8) toward the base, white pruinose above, villose to hispid below, attached to a white, appressed mycelial pad over the substratum. Lamellae adnexed to subcollariate, distant (14–18 reach the stipe), with 0–1 lamellulae, up to 1 mm broad, slightly intervenose, concolorous with the pileus; edges even, concolorous. Spore print pure white.
Micromorphological characteristics (Fig. 46): Basidiospores 9.2–10.4 × 3.7–4.3 μm (n = 34, Q = 2.41–2.48), ellipsoid, smooth, colorless, inamyloid, thin-walled. Basidia 26.4–37.3 × 6.4–8.8 μm, clavate, four-spored; basidioles clavate. Cheilocystidia 16–21.6 × 5–8.5 μm, forming a compact sterile edge, subclavate to irregularly shaped, with one or several finger-like appendages 2.4–4.2 μm wide, or shortly lobed or knobbed, colorless or pale melleous, inamyloid, thin-walled. Pleurocystidia none. Hymenophoral trama regular; element hyphae similar to those of the pileitrama. Pileipellis a hypotrichial layer (cutis) of subcylindrical cells 30–60 × 6–12 μm, often inflated, with orange (6B8) to brownish orange (6C8) walls up to 1 μm thick, encrusted with brownish orange (6C8) pigment, brownish red (11C8) in Melzer's reagent (dextrinoid); hairs of pileus 230–1200 × 4–7 μm, arising directly from the hypotrichium, repent or erect, cylindrical, tapering to an obtuse apex or with a broadly rounded apex, sometimes flexuous, smooth, brownish violet (11D8) to violet-brown (11E8) in Melzer's reagent (strongly dextrinoid), with colorless or pale melleous walls 1.6–3.2 μm thick, without a secondary septum. Hyphae of pileitrama 6–16 μm wide, parallel, cylindrical to subfusiform, often inflated, smooth, with pale melleous cytoplasmic pigments, brownish red (11C8) in Melzer's reagent (dextrinoid), thin-walled. Stipitipellis of fasciculate hairs arising from cutis hyphae; hairs of stipe similar to those of the pileus. Stipe trama composed of longitudinally running, cylindrical hyphae 5.3–8 μm wide, smooth, with pale melleous to brownish orange (6C8) cytoplasmic pigments, brownish red (11C8) in Melzer's reagent (dextrinoid), thin-walled. Clamps present in all tissues.
Habitat and phenology: Solitary or scattered on dead shrubs in evergreen broad-leaved forests, April to November, common.
Known distribution: Okinawa (Yaeyama Islands: Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island), Malaysia (Kerekes and Desjardin 2009).
Specimens examined: KPM-NC0005014 (holotype), on dead twigs of various kinds of low trees in an evergreen broad-leaved forest, along the Urauchi River, Iriomote Island, Okinawa Pref., 2 Jun. 1999, coll. Takahashi, H.; CBM-FB-24120, same location, 1 Oct. 1996, coll. Takahashi, H.; CBM-FB-24121, same location, 15 May 1997, coll. Takahashi, H.; CBM-FB-24122, same location, 6 Jun. 1998, coll. Takahashi, H.; TNS-F-48181, on dead twigs of various kinds of low trees in an evergreen broad-leaved forest, Omoto-yama, Ishigaki-shi, Okinawa Pref., 9 Jun. 2012; KPM-NC0023876, on dead twigs of Ardisia quinquegona Blume, Banna-dake, Ishigaki-shi, Okinawa Pref., 2 Jun. 2013, coll. Takahashi, H.
Japanese name: Shiraga-nise-houraitake.
Comments: This species is characterized by the radially sulcate-striate, canescent pileus colored brownish yellow at maturity; the white or brown, villose to hispid stipe attached by white, appressed mycelial pad to the substratum; the distant lamellae concolorous with the pileus; the subclavate or irregularly shaped cheilocystidia with one or several finger-like appendages; the dextrinoid hairs on the pileus and stipe; and the basidiome formation on dead twigs of various kinds of low trees in evergreen broad-leaved forests.
The lack of bright pigments, the relatively long (more than 7 mm) and central stipe, the ellipsoid basidiospores less than 9 μm wide, and the absence of pleurocystidia suggest that this species belongs in the genus Crinipellis, section Crinipellis, subsection Crinipellis (Singer 1942, 1986).
Within the subsection, C. canescens appears to be closely related to several neotropical taxa that have a small pileus (less than 10 mm) and cheilocystidia with several appendages, such as Crinipellis pseudostipitaria Singer (Pegler 1983; Singer 1942), Crinipellis septotricha Singer (Pegler, 1983; Singer 1942), and Crinipellis stupparia (Berk. & M.A.Curtis) Pat. (Pegler 1983). The latter three taxa are distinct in having a pileus with a dark papillate umbo and in lacking a basal mycelium. Moreover, C. pseudostipitaria grows on grass debris, and C. septotricha and C. stupparia form hairs with secondary ladder-septations. Crinipellis canescens is also similar to Crinipellis omotricha (Berk.) D.A. Reid, redescribed by Pegler (Pegler 1986) from material collected in Sri Lanka, except that the latter has simple cheilocystida and a graminicolous habitat. Crinipellis hepatica Corner (Corner 1996), recently described from Malaysia, appears to be the closest ally. Unlike C. canescens, however, the former has a reddish brown pileus, an insititious stipe, subfusiform basidiole, and subventricose to subfusiform cheilocystidia without appendages.
Based on the ITS sequence data for the Malaysian C. canescens materials, Kerekes and Desjardin (Kerekes and Desjardin 2009) proposed relegating the species to the anamorphic genus Moniliophthora (Evans et al. 1978; Aime and Phillips-Mora 2005).
