Hymenophore annual, membranous, adherent, effused forming elliptical areas to 14 x 4 cm; hymenial surface white, then cream, coarsely areolately creviced; margin thinning out, white or cream, arachnoid, adherent. Context white, 180-250 µm thick, basal layer narrow, of parallel hyphae, intermediate layer of loosely intertwined hyphae branched at a wide angle, becoming pseudoparenchymatous; generative hyphae 4-8 µm, commonly 5-6 µm diameter, walls 0.5- µm thick, naked, with large clamp connections. Gloeocystidia arising from the upper part of the intermediate layer, flexuous-cylindrical, some submoniliform, 40-96 x 4-8 µm, some projecting to 15 µm. Hymenial layer to 50 µm deep, a close palisade of basidia, paraphyses, and gloeocystidia. Basidia subclavate, 20-32 x 4-6 µm, bearing 4 spores; sterigmata slender, to 6 µm long. Paraphyseq subclavate, 18-20 x 4-5 µm. Spores elliptical, 6-8 x 2.5-3 µm, walls smooth, hyaline, 0.2 µm thick.
DISTRIBUTION: North America, Australia, New Zealand.
HABITAT: Effused on bark of dead branches.
Readily recognised by the stout, moderately thick-walled hyphae branching at a wide angle and becoming corymbose beneath the hymenium, long and slender gloeocystidia arising in the context and passing to the surface of the hymenium, moderately sized spores, and white or cream, membranous hymenophore. In some collections gloeocystidia are flexuous-cylindrical, in others submoniliform, in others again both types may be present. Although sometimes difficult to find they are always present and readily seen near margins.
TYPE LOCALITY: North Dakota, U.S.A.
