Pileus applanate to convex, flabelliform, margin acute; upper surface cream, naples yellow to dark grey, darker when bruised, very finely concentric tomentose in younger stages, becoming glabrous and incrusted with age, sulcate; pore surface cream to naples yellow, darker when bruised. Pore angular to irregular, 1-3 mm-1. Hyphal system dimitic, generative hyphae with clamp connections, hyaline, ≦ 4.5 μm wide; skeletal hyphae dominating in the structure, thick-walled, hyaline to cream, ≦ 6 μm wide, dextrinoid. Cystidia ventricose, hyaline, thick-walled, common to rare, non-dextrinoid to light dextrinoid, with apical encrusted elements, 25-38 × 7-18 μm. Basidiospores subglobose to tear-shaped, usually with one large guttule, hyaline to light yellow, smooth, non-dextrinoid to light dextrinoid, thick-walled, not truncate, 8.5-10 × 5-7 μm.
