 Description: Basidiocarp resupinate, effuse, adnate, membranaceous, usually fibrillose. Context up to 200 μm thick. Hymenial surface cream, pinkish cream, or buff, poroid, cracked when old; margin concolorous or paler, fairly determinate, shortly filamentous. Pores angular, 5-9 per mm; tube layer up to 200 μm deep; dissepiments 50-150 μm thick. Hyphal system seemingly dimitic; generative hyphae clamped. Context with fairly loose texture; generative hyphae variously oriented, ± horizontal near substratum, colorless, 2-4 μm diam., with 0.5-1 μm thick walls, occasionally finely encrusted. Trama with dense texture; skeletal-like hyphae yellow or colourless, 2.5-5 μm diam., with 0.7-1.5 μm thick walls, dominant in central trama; generative hyphae similar to those of context. Generative hyphae of dissepiment surface with finely encrusted apices. Capitate cystidia distributed in context, trama, and hymenial layer, colourless, 20-40 μm long, with 5-10 μm diam. globose apices, thin- or slightly thick-walled, encrusted with brownish yellow resinous material. Basidia suburniform, 12-18 × 4-5 μm, 4-sterigmate. Basidiospores broadly ellipsoid, smooth, thin-walled, 3.7-4.3 × 2.8-3.3 μm, IKI–, CB–.
