 Description: Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, membranaceous or submembranaceous, 150-450 μm thick in section. Hymenial surface pale yellow to light yellow, smooth, cracked; margin rather determinate, concolorous. Hyphal system monomitic; hyphae nodose-septate. Subiculum fairly uniform, composed of medullary layer, with loose texture; hyphae generally colorless, brownish yellow close to substratum, ±horizontal, distinct, fairly straight, 1.8-3.5 μm diam., with thin to ca. 1 μm thick walls, usually covered with a yellow scattered granular material. Hymeniumsomewhat thickening, with dense texture; hyphae colorless, ±vertical, thin-walled. Gloeocystidia numerous, usually immersed, moniliform toward apices, widest about middle, with stalked bases, with yellow oily contents, 6-14 μm diam., up to ca. 150 μm long, thin-walled, SA+. Basidia clavate, with stalked bases, 25-35 × 5-6 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores subglobose, verrucose-aculeate (smooth in KOH), thin- or slightly thick-walled, containing oily drops, 4.2-5 × 3.3-4 μm, IKI bluish black, CB–.

 Note: This new species resembles Gloeocystidiellum fimbriatum in the loose texture of the body fruit and the similar size of the basidiospores, but differs from the latter in having moniliform gloeocystidia and slightly bigger basidiospores.
