Study description
On decaying deciduous wood, with a hemispherical to parabolic pileus 2–5 mm across, white, free lamellae joined to a pseudocollarium, and a filiform, hyaline greyish stipe darker at the base, with the lower part hirsute and arising from an equally hirsute basal disc.
Cuticle (pileipellis) with abundant subglobose to vesiculose terminal cells covered with abundant short cylindrical excrescences (acanthocysts).
Cheilocystidia not observed; described in literature as fusiform to clavate, 9–25 µm long by 10–12 µm wide, with warts up to 1.5 µm on their surface.
Basidia clavate, 13–20 µm long by 7–9 µm wide, with basal clamps, 2-spored.
Spores short-ellipsoidal to oblong, with a pointed end where the apiculus is located, measuring 7.5–10 µm long by 4.5–6.5 µm wide, containing oil droplets of varying size inside, amyloid in Melzer's reagent.
