Summary:
Features include a shining, bald cap that is ferruginous at the center and fulvous at margin, broad gills that are ferruginous-isabelline to fulvous, a striate stem that is whitish to isabelline-ferruginous, absent veil, growth on wood, a ferruginous spore deposit, verrucose dextrinoid spores, and other microscopic characters. The description is derived from Hesler(2).
The holotype was found in OR. It was reported by Davidson and Lowe for BC.

reaching 7cm across, convex to flat, finally depressed, slightly umbonate when young; ferruginous at center, margin fulvous; shining, bald

Stem:
about 6cm long, 1-1.6cm wide, equal or with enlarged base; "whitish to isabelline-ferruginous"; longitudinally striate
Microscopic spores:
spores 6-8 x 5-6 microns, elliptic, oval, or nearly round, verrucose, no germ pore, dextrinoid; basidia 4-spored, 28-40 x 6-7 microns; pleurocystidia none, cheilocystidia 25-40 x 4-6 microns, "filamentous, subcylindric, or subventricose, sometimes capitate"; gill trama subparallel, hyphae 6-10 microns wide, subhymenium not distinctive; cap trama radial, cap cuticle "of repent hyphae, at times some of the surface hyphae loosen and become semi-erect"; caulocystidia none, sometimes tufts of erect hyphae are present; clamp connections present
