Pileus -7 mm, dimidiate, conchate or reniform, margin incurved and inconspicuously striate, pale brown to argillaceous when young becoming reddish brown in aged carpophores, near point of attachment covered with white velutinous mycelium or white substrigose hairs, smooth towards margin, dry. Lamellae laterally concurrent, ventricose, crowded, pale argillaceous turning pale red-brown, edge concolorous, smooth. Stipe absent, carpophores laterally attached to substratum, single, in dense groups. Odour and taste not distinctive. Context pale brown, gelatinous stratum absent. Spore print pale red-brown. Spores 5-6 µm., subglobose, covered with hemispherical warts, perispor indistinct, brown. Basidia 20-25/6-7 µm, 4-spored. Cheilocystidia 20-35/8-15 µm, lageniform to subfusoid, hyaline, membrane up to 1 µm thick near apex, thinning towards base, encrusted with scatterd crystals. Pleurocystidia absent. Cuticle a cutis or trichoderm of cylindrical hyaline thin-walled hyphae (2-4 µm diam.), occasionally with clusters of dermatocystidia (shape like cheilocystidia), membranes of hyphae not gelatinized. Clamp connections present.
