 Description: Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, ceraceous, 150-400 μm thick in section (without aculei). Hymenial surface clay-yellow or pinkish, darkens in KOH, generally raduloid, somewhat poroid or hydnoid for some parts, occasionally cracked; margin of an immature zone, thinning, paler, filamentous. Pores circular, ca 3 per mm. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae simple-septate. Subiculum composed of a medullary layer, with loose texture; hyphae colorless, variously oriented, 3-6.5 μm diam., with 0.5-1.5 μm thick walls. Trama with fairly dense texture; hyphae mainly vertical, colorless, 3-4 μm diam., slightly thick-walled. Hymenium thickening, with dense texture; hyphae colorless, 1.5-2.5 μm diam., thin-walled. Leptocystidia not abundant, projecting, capitate, subcapitate, or cylindrical, colorless, 35-60 × 4.5-7.5 μm, thin- or slightly thick-walled. Basidia clavate, 13-25 × 3.5-4.5 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores ellipsoid or narrowly ellipsoid, adaxially slightly concave, smooth, thin-walled, 5-6 × 2-2.8 μm, IKI-, CB-.
