Description

This species has a peculiar shape of its cap, or pileus (ellipsoid or conical with acute apex). The presence of long whitish fibrils at the margin of the cap, has cross-forked gills (anastomosing lamellae), and dark brown rather small (8.7–10 × 5.8–6.3 μm) spores with germ pore. This species has an uncommon combination of above ground fruitbodies with sequestrate fertile surfaces, and without apparent adaptations for mammal dispersal; it is likely that dispersal limitation is an important factor influencing this species’ distribution and population dynamics.
