Fruiting bodies simple to 2 cm tall, waxy tough to often slimy, white to translucent, creamish, darkening to grey or pale tan with age, often with a pure white apex on drying. Contextual hyphae generally parallel but also interwoven, thin to slightly thick-walled, slightly to heavily agglutinated, bearing clamp connections throughout, cells long, to 200 µm, branches and anastomoses abundant. Subhymenial hyphae thin-walled, tortuous, clamped, parallel to contextual hyphae; producing basidia as side branches; cells to 25 × 1.5-3 µm. Basidia short and narrow (15-25 × 4-6 µm) with a small, basal clamp connection, 4-6-sterigmate; sterigmata to 4 µm long, spindly, slightly incurved, easily collapsed. No differentiated sterile elements in hymenium. Spores ovoid to ellipsoid, smooth, thin-walled, aguttulate to 1-2-guttulate, 4.5-7.7 × 1.8-3.2 µm.
