Basidiome annual, pileate, solitary to partly imbricate. Pileus tomentose, light yellow, flat evenly to radially tomentose, white (Fig. 1 G and 6). Margin acute and very thin. Pore surface cream to pinkish. Pores round to angular, irregular, 5-7 per mm. Context white, separate from the pore layer with a darker gelatinised zone. Hyphal structure monomitic, generative hyphae with simple septa. Basidiospores allantoid, hyaline, smooth, thin-walled, negative in Melzer’s Reagent, 3.2-4 × 0.9-1.2 μm.
