Morphological Description
Macroscopic: Cap yellow/brown in color, convex, crenate, glabrous, 10-12mm across and 6-8mm deep. Stripe with annulus, light near cap darkening near the base, 35-40mm long. Gill attachment adnate/uncinate with gills subdistant and unequally attached. Slight color change when wet/dry, slight striations when wet. No distinct smell or taste (note: collector has poor sense of smell and taste).Microscopic: Average spore size 7-8um x 4.5-5um. Spores with rough edges under 100x magnification. Basidia 4-spored, 25-30um x 6-8um. Cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia present, approx three times the size of basidia. Cheiocystidia can be 'bowling pin' like in appearance, with a rounded apex and swollen middle.

DNA analysis does not match identified species completely, it is only a 98% match.
Habitat
Growing on rotting coniferous wood, most likely a Douglas fir. Moss was close by, some of the collected samples where growing up through moss.
