Mouth minutely fimbriated, 0.1–0.3 mm, chocolate brown to dark brown (6F4–8F6). Endoperidium brownish grey to greyish brown (7D2–7F3), smooth to faintly plicate, 0.5–0.75 mm between folds, slightly bright, not contrasting with the exterior. Stipe 1.5–3 mm length, greyish brown to brownish grey (7E2–6F2); epiphragm white, flexible. Peridioles 1.5–2.5 (3) mm × 1.5–2.5 mm, greyish brown (7F3), 12–18 per basidioma, irregular to circular in outline. Tunic hyaline, bronze. Cortex double layered. Basidiospores smooth, hyaline, elliptical to ovoid, without an apicule, 13.97–19.05 × 10.16–13.97 µm (L = 16.93 µm; W = 11.43 µm; Qm = 1.49), thin walled 1.27–2.54 µm. Growing on rotten wood.
