Description
Basidioma annual, effuse, with appressed margin, loosely adnate, sometimes with raised margin when old, brittle when dry, initially orbicular, later confluent, up to 5 cm diam. Hymenophore smooth, initially smooth, minutely cracked in aged basidiomata, cinnamon brown. Margin appressed, slightly fimbriate and initially yellowish brown, smooth and concolorous with the hymenophore in older basidiomata. Basidioma section 60–130 μm thick, not stratified, composed of a hymenium layer and the context underneath. Basidia claviform, 4-spored, clampless, the lower 2/3 embedded in a resinous brown matter, 18–25 × 4–5.5 μm. Basidiospores ellipsoid in side view, thin walled, smooth, hyaline, sometimes brown, multiguttulate, non-amyloid, 5.5–7 × 3–4 μm (Lm = 6.1–6.5; Wm = 3.5–3.8; Qm = 1.7–1.8). Setae abundant, arising from the subhymenium or the upper part of the context, projecting up to 50 μm over the hymenium, subulate, dark brown, thick-walled (up to 3 μm thick), smooth, rarely with a few hyphae forming a sheath, sometimes gibbose at the base, often with a bi- or trifurcate base, (30–)69–87(–100) × 6.5–9(–10) μm. Context formed by interwoven generative hyphae, cylindrical, moderately thick-walled, often branched at a right angle, golden brown, clampless, 2.5–4 μm diam. Basal layer of vaguely parallel-arranged hyphae observed in aged basidiomata. Crystals sometimes present on the subhymenial and context hyphae, bipyramidal to sphaeroid, 2–3 μm diam.
