Description
Pileus initially convex, later flattened or even concave, up to 3 cm in diameter, with a slight and broad central umbo. Cuticle greasy, radially fibrous, purplish-brown towards the center, whitish towards the edges, and sometimes with remnants of the general veil in the form of yellow-orange scales. Stipe cylindrical and somewhat thickened towards the central part, up to 7 × 1 cm, formed by two well-differentiated parts; the upper part, approximately one-third of the total length, whitish and, like the cuticle, with purplish-brown fibrils; the lower part, similar in appearance and color to Cystoderma amianthinum (Scop.) Fayod, granulose or scaly and yellow-orange. Gills adnate, thick, whitish, with rough lamellar faces and a fairly irregular margin. Flesh purplish in the upper third and orange-brown in the rest, no odor or taste recorded.
Spores ellipsoidal, 8-10.2 × 4.6-5.6 µm, Q = 1.6-1.9, n = 85, hyaline, smooth, with 1-2(3) large guttules inside, surrounded by many smaller ones. Basidia clavate, tetrasporic. Lamellar trama formed by elements of different shapes, from nearly spherical to cylindrical, ellipsoidal, fusiform, and often constricted toward the central zone. Flesh trama formed by chains of cylindrical or broadly cylindrical hyphae, some constricted as in the lamellar trama. Pileipellis of cutis type, formed by parallel cylindrical hyphae, 6-12 µm thick, with abundant vacuolar content inside and encrusted pigment of brown color. General veil formed by chains of polyhedral, globular, pyriform cells, 20-45 µm in diameter, hyaline, with yellow-orange external content. Chlamydospores generally globular, sometimes fusiform, curved, and even triangular in section, 10-12.2 × 10.3-12.8 µm for globular ones and 8.3-10.2 × 11.7-18.3 µm for fusiform and more irregular ones, smooth, yellowish, with thick walls (1.3-2.2 µm) and numerous small guttules inside, generated at the ends of hyphae in the lower part of the stipe (the yellow-orange area). Clamps present throughout the carpophore.
