(Bourdot & Galzin) Donk

Study description
On decaying wood or plant debris on the ground, with completely resupinate basidiomes, easily separable from the substrate, 0.5 to 2 mm thick, pale yellow to cream, pruinose in appearance, with a whitish, diffuse growing margin.
Generative hyphae at the base of the subiculum cylindrical, hyaline, thin-walled, arranged horizontally and parallel, 1.5 to 3.5 µm wide, septate with simple septa (without clamp connections).
Numerous dichohyphae (hyphae with dichotomous branching) in the hymenium, thick-walled (with walls up to 0.8 µm thick), with brown pigment inside, 1.5 to 3.5 µm wide.
Gloeocystidia not observed; according to literature scattered, deeply immersed in the hymenium, ventricose to lageniform, 25 to 50 µm long by 7 to 17 µm wide.
Basidia cylindric-utriform, 15 to 19 µm long by 3 to 4 µm wide, and with two or four sterigmata (bi- or tetrasporic).
Spores ovoid, smooth, hyaline, thin-walled, with a distinct apiculus at one end, 3.5 to 4.5 µm long by 2.5 to 3.3 µm wide, with a homogeneous interior, very scarce granular content, and inamyloid in Melzer's reagent.
