(Bull.) Singer

Study description
On decaying woody debris on the ground in forest clearings among mosses, with a deeply infundibuliform pileus 3 to 9 cm across, dark brown with whitish radial fibrils, deeply decurrent, greyish-beige to pale brown lamellae, a cylindrical, solid stipe slightly enlarged at the base, reddish-brown with whitish fibrils, with a pleasant aromatic odour, and mild taste.
Pileipellis composed of more or less parallel to slightly interwoven cylindrical hyphae 3 to 7 µm wide, with abundant brown intracellular pigment, septate with simple septa (clampless).
Lamellar edge fertile, without differentiated cystidia (homomorphous).
Lamellar trama regular to parallel.
Basidia cylindrical-clavate, 32 to 40 µm long, 8 to 10 µm wide, simple-septate at the base, 4-spored.
Spores ellipsoidal, smooth, hyaline, thin-walled, 8 to 11 µm long, 5.5 to 7 µm wide, with an inconspicuous eccentric apiculus at one end, containing oil droplets, distinctly amyloid in Melzer's reagent.
