Summary:
Features include 1) a small, conic-bellshaped, umbonate cap that is hygrophanous orange-tawny, finely fringed on the margin with white, 2) narrow argillaceous to ochraceous gills, 3) a weakly bulbose stem streaked white on a brownish background, 4) iodoform odor, 5) growth under conifers in damp areas, and 6) microscopic characters. The description is derived from Gerault(1).

Cap:
1.5-2cm across, conic to conic-campanulate with a pointed umbo, thin and membranous; hygrophanous, orangish tawny, drying to beige or milky coffee color; with silky fibrils on drying, margin finely fringed with white

Flesh:
whitish, brownish in the stem

Gills:
fairly well-spaced, narrow (0.15cm), argillaceous, chamois-ochraceous; edges eroded

Stem:
3-5cm x 0.1-0.2cm, flexuous, weakly bulbose; streaked white on a brownish background, white at the base; silky-fibrillose

Odor:
iodoform

Microscopic spores:
8-11 x 5-6 microns, elliptic to oval, densely and finely verrucose; cheilocystidia absent

Notes:
DNA sequencing indicates presence in BC according to Harrower(1)), although there is still some lack of clarity about the relationship between C. acutus and C. acutovelatus.
