Study description
Saprophytic species on wood or woody debris, preferring conifers, with a conical to campanulate, striate, small pileus (up to 1.5 cm across), variable in colour, usually brown with greenish or bluish tones, adnate lamellae, and a cylindrical, hollow stipe of greyish-brown colour, with its entire surface covered in a whitish pruina.
Hyphae of the suprapellis filamentous, 2–4.5 µm wide, separated by gelification (ixocutis), branched, with scattered cylindrical excrescences.
Caulocystidia abundant, subcylindrical to slightly fusiform, sinuous, measuring 50–140 µm long by 8–11 µm wide.
Cheilocystidia mostly cylindrical, others fusiform to lageniform, measuring 20–45 µm long by 4–7 µm wide.
Pleurocystidia absent.
Basidia clavate, 18–30 µm long by 6–8 µm wide, with basal clamps, 4-spored.
Spores ellipsoidal, smooth, hyaline, thin-walled, measuring 7–10 µm long by 3.5–5 µm wide, with a pointed end where the apiculus is located, with oil guttules inside, walls amyloid in Melzer's reagent.
