PILEUS: convex when young, becoming centrally depressed, infundibuliform, or irregularly infundibuliform at maturity, 3-8.5 cm diam., dry, tomentose, felted, velutinate, or finely squamulose, often circumferentially creviced and exposing the white context or centrally squarrose at maturity, white with yellow tints when young, yellowish orange, yellowish brown, yellow, or golden yellow at maturity, squamules when present darker brown; cuticle a poorly organised trichodermium when young, at maturity composed of repent or obliquely ascending filamentous hyphae with simple septa and yellowish brown contents, terminal cells cylindrical or tapering apically, thin-walled or slightly thick-walled, often externally roughened, 7-12.5 µm. diam.; margins strongly to moderately involute when young, often undulate and irregularly lobed at maturity. LAMELLAE: moderately crowded, deeply decurrent, repeatedly dichotomously branched 4-(5) times, not anastomosing or meruloid near stipe, 2-4 mm deep, dull creamy yellow when young, golden yellow at maturity, paling near margins of pileus, unchanging where damaged, lamellulae absent. STIPE: 1.5-4 cm long, tapering basally, 0.5-1 cm diam, apically, 0.5-0.75 cm diam. basally, central or occasionally eccentric, solid or slightly hollowed at maturity, dry, finely velutinate-subtomentose near apex by presence of short, septate, filamentous hyphae 4-7.5 µm. diam. with yellowish brown contents, otherwise subglabrous, yellowish white when young, often with yellowish brown stains, more or less concolorous with pileus at maturity; flesh white to sordid brownish white, unchanging on exposure to air; basal mycelium white; veil absent. SPORES: spore print orange-brown (Amber Brown); spores golden melleous to bright rusty brown, broadly elliptic-subfusiform, suprahilar depression or applanation typically present, apiculate, germ pore absent, 11.5-14-(15.5) X 4.8-6 µm, moderately thick-walled, smooth. HYMENIUM: basidia hyaline, sub-clavate to clavate, 42-58 X 7.5-10 µm, 4-spored; cystidia absent but paraphysis like structures of irregular diam. present, occasionally clavate structures with mucronate apices present but not projecting beyond basidia. HYMENOPHORAL TRAMA: bilateral, mediostratum of moderately loosely interwoven, longitudinal hyphae, lateral stratum of closely interwoven hyphae; clamp connections absent. CONTEXT OF PILEUS: white, yellowish around larvae tunnels, unchanging on exposure to air. SMELL: not distinctive. TASTE: bitter. CHEMICAL CHARACTERS: KOH on pileus— reddish brown; on context—yellow; NH4OH on pileus—orange-brown or reddish brown with a reddish or pinkish orange flush; on context—no reaction or faintly yellow.

HABITAT: Gregarious or caespitose under Nothofagus.
