Fruiting body: 1-3cm high, expanded tip up to 0.25cm wide, somewhat compressed laterally up to 0.1-0.15cm wide, "light tan when fresh, drying to sordid cream or fleshy buff"; spore-bearing part of fruitbody "usually lacerated to imperfectly palmately branched" at the upper 0.2 to 0.3cm
Stem: 0.1-0.15cm wide, attenuate [narrowed] in lower part, expanded in upper part
Microscopic: spores 7.8-8.7 x 2.8-3.5 microns, narrowly elliptic or cylindric, "smooth, thin-walled, homogeneous in content, with a small but distinct lateral apiculus"; basidia 4-spored, 18-23 x 2.5-3.5 microns, ovate or nearly spherical when young, elongating into cylindric or subcylindric forms, multiguttulate, basally clamped, with hymenium thickening by basidial proliferation from basal clamp connection, "sterigmata short, easily collapsed, weak"; subhymenial hyphae densely packed, 1.5-2 microns wide, thin-walled, colorless, relatively straight next to the contextual part, but becoming tortuous as subbasidial cells, "producing basidia as side branches and then as branch tips"; contextual hyphae thin-walled, colorless, "generally parallel, loosely arranged, gloeous, uninflated", 1-1.5 microns thick, usually with multiguttulate contents, septa with conspicuous clamp connections throughout, (Petersen), spores 7.5-9.0 x 2.5-3.5 microns (McCune)
