Morphological Description
Cap: (width: 9 mm-2.4 cm) is ochre-brown with darker brown color and slightly abonate at center. It turns to cinnamon brown when older. Cap is slightly bell-shaped when young, convex and when gets older slightly appresed and margin lifting minutely upward and splitting. Cap margin is striate with lines is fibrillose and smooth with moist feeling and pliable.
Gills: have an unequal shape with adnexed attach. Subdistant when young but distant when old. Breath: thickness 1-2 mm and width 3.5-8.00when young. pliable texture. They have ochre brown color but when gets older their color distinctively differs from cap (dark cinnamon brown) and margin is comparatively darker. Older specimen seemed to secede from stalk. It has kind of yellowish brown stain on the hymenium.
Stipe: width (1-3 mm) length (1.9-5.2cm), with central attachment and have a darker yellowish brown compare to cap while some part when is young has a dirty white color. Older specimen is get darker and darker (dark brown) and also has Kind of ring or separation in its upper stalk. Its base is between flexuous and slightly clavate having darker color than other part of stipe. Inside of stem is stuffed and has a fibrous texture. Specimen didn't exude any latex when broken.
Spore: length (7.5-11.00) width (3.5-6.00) micrometer, is almond-shaped with an irregularly (some of them more elongated) warty ornamentation without any germ pore or plage. They have a dark brown color.
Cystidia: Pileocystidia and Caulocystidia probably absent.
Cheilocystidia seems to present, which has a yellowish color and small (smaller than basidia) clavate shape with thin wall. I also saw one horned Cystidia.
Trama is irregular and cup cuticle is trichoderm.
