 Description: Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, membranaceous or submembanaceous, 40-100 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface yellowish white, smooth, sometimes cracked; margin concolorous, thinning, filamentose-pruinose. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae nodose-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, with fairly loose texture; hyphae ±horizontal next to substratum, variously oriented elsewhere, colorless, 1.5-3 μm diam., thin-walled. Hymeniumslightly thickening, not clearly differentiated from subiculum, with denser texture; hyphae colorless, thin-walled. Gloeocystidia numerous, emergent or immersed, subcolorless, yellowish or brownish yellow, cylindrical or tubular, somewhat flexuous, with stalked bases, quite often developed laterally from the supporting hyphae, occasionally with apical or lateral projection(s), 35-70 × 5-10 μm, thin- or slightly thick-walled, SA+. Basidia suburniform, 14-18 × 4-5 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores subglobose, aculeate (smooth in KOH), thin-walled, usually with several small oil-drops, 4.2-5.2 × 3.3-3.8 μm, IKI bluish black, CB–.
