Summary:
Features include 1) fairly small size, 2) a dry pallid-umber cap clothed on the disc by dense squarrose umber scales, 3) fulvous to umber gills, and 4) an equal stem clothed with fulvous-umber, subsquarrose fibrils. The description here is derived from Kauffman(3).

Cap:
2.5-3cm across, bell-shaped then convex, subumbonate [somewhat umbonate]; pallid-umber; "dry, clothed on the disk by dense, squarrose, umber scales, fasciculate-fibrillose on the margin"

Gills:
slightly adnate, sometimes uncinate, ventricose [broader in middle]; fulvous to umber

Stem:
3-4cm x 0.5cm, subequal [more or less equal], hollow, fibrous-fleshy; "clothed with fulvous-umber, subsquarrose fibrils"

Veil:
cortina fibrillose, umber, fugacious [fleeting]

Microscopic spores:
spores 12 x 6 microns, irregularly elliptic, smooth, [presumably without apical pore]

Spore deposit:
[presumably brownish]

Notes:
It is known from the type locality in NE (Nebraska). It was reported from BC in J.E. Davidson (1930), and D.P. Lowe (1969), but current status needs review.
