Summary:
Features include a white cap that may be depressed, white gills that become pinkish, a white stem, a farinaceous odor, a pinkish brown spore print, and angular spores. The description is derived from Largent(1). It is rare in the western United States (Largent(1)).

Cap:
1.5-3cm across, convex, depressed or umbilicate and flat, margin inrolled, becoming decurved [downcurved] when old; pallid to whitish, very slightly hygrophanous; bald to appressed-tomentose, margin opaque

Veil:
fleeting white superficial veil may be seen on cap

Odor:
farinaceous

Taste:
indistinct to unpleasant

Microscopic spores:
spores 9-11.8 x 6.6-9.1 microns, spores average more than 9 microns long, 5-6 sided, angular, smooth, [inamyloid]; basidia 4-spored, 30-37 x 8-11 microns, easily separated; pleurocystidia absent, cheilocystidia absent, pileocystidia cylindric, caulocystidia cylindroclavate, 32.5-50 x 3.7-7.5 microns; clamps rare to scattered on hyphae of pileipellis, stipitipellis, and at base of basidia, not mentioned elsewhere; pigmentation colorless, not incrusted

Spore deposit:
pinkish brown

Notes:
It is found at least in WA. It is reported from BC in Kroeger(3) and there is a collection at the University of British Columbia determined by O. Ceska.
