Pileus -25 mm, hemispheric when young, becoming convex to plane with depressed centre, margin incurved also in aged specimens; yellow-brown, velutinous to felly; dry, hygrophanous; margin not striate, with distinct yellow fibrils from the veil (at least in young carpophores). Lamellae (L 12-18,7-) 15), crowded; broadly adnate to emarginate; golden-yellow when young becoming yellow-brown with age, edge albofimbriate. Stipe -25 x -2.5 mm, cylindric, equal, often curved, central; concolorous with pileus, base brown; densely covered with appressed longitudinal fibrils, with distinct but evanescent yellow cortina; dry, hollow, single in groups, with yellow-brown basal tomentum. Context yellow-brown. Odour not distinctive. Taster mild. Chemical reactions on pileus: KOH, NH? - brown; H2S04, HCI - negative. Spores 7-8 x 4-5 µm, phaseoliform, brown, membrane thin-walled, smooth, germ pore absent. Cheilocystidia 30-50 x 15-20 µm, clavate to vesiculose, membrane hyaline to yellow-brown, occasionally encrusted with yellow-brown pigment, clamp connection at basal septum. Pleurocystidia absent. Caulocystidia cylindric, not differentiated. Cuticle a trichoderm of suberect to erect cylindric hyphae, terminal cells cystidioid (conic to fusoid), membranes not gelatinised, encrusted with brown (KOH) pigment. Clamp connections numerous at septa.
