Pale Pinkish Buff, Cartridge Buff, Light Buff, or Pale Ochraceous-Buff, smooth, usually pilose due to projecting cystidia, cracked or not cracked; margin paler, thinning, arachnoid-pruinose. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae nodose-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, mainly composed of basal layer, with compact texture, up to ca. 20 µm thick; hyphae horizontal, colorless, fairly straight, agglutinated, 2.5-4 µm diam., thin- or slightly thick-walled. Hymenial layer with dense texture, thickening; hyphae ± vertical, colorless, indistinct, agglutinated, ± tortuous, 2-3 µm diam., thin-walled. Hyphidia occasionally present. Cystidia numerous, immersed or projecting, colorless, heavily encrusted, subulate, 60-160 × 15-30 µm (encrustation included), with 1-6 µm thick walls, adventitious septa occasionally occur. Basidia subutriform or subclavate, guttulate, 37-47 × 10-12.5 µm, 4-sterig-mate. Basidiospores ellipsoid, adaxially flattened or slightly concave, smooth, thin-walled, with oil-drops, (11-) 11.5-13.5 (-14.5) × 7-8 (-8.5) µm, IKI-, CB-.
