Gills are White to yellow, rather distant, adnate to decurrent.
The stem is 1.5-5cm with parallel sides, curving slightly at the base. White to lemon-yellow, and warty, especially aorund the base. There is sometimes a Web-like ring which soon disappears. Spore print is white. It grows on dead wood, in wet forests.
