 Description: Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, membranaceous, 100-250 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface cream-colored, buff-colored, or yellow, slightly darkens or without color change in KOH, smooth, occasionally cracked; margin thinning, paler, filamentous. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae mostly simple-septate, rarely nodose-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, composed of a medullary layer, with fairly loose texture. Subicular hyphae colorless, variously oriented, fairly straight, 3-6 μm diam., with 0.7-1.5 μm thick walls. Hymenium ± thickening, with dense texture; hyphae colorless, slightly thick-walled. Hyphocystidia (leptocystidia-like hyphal ends) situated in the hymenium, immersed or projecting, cylindrical, sometimes narrower towards apices, colorless, 30-80 × 3.5-6 μm, with 0.5-1 μm thick walls, quite often bearing one to more secondary septa. Basidia clavate, 15-35 × 4.5-5.5 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores ellipsoid or narrowly ellipsoid, adaxially flattened, smooth, thin-walled, 3.8-5 × 2-2.7 μm, IKI-, CB-.
