white to cream resupinate basidiocarps, a monomitic hyphal system, rosette-like crystals born on specialized, narrow and branched generative hyphae, and small allantoid to lunate basidiospores, but S. lowei has rosette-like crystals only, and bigger basidiospores (3.5–5.0 × 1.0–1.2 μm); while Sidera vesiculosa has rosette-like and irregular rhomboidal crystals, and smaller basidiospores, 2.9–3.7 × 0.6–1.0 μm (Du et al. 2019).
