Macroscopic: This particular sample has a 60 mm stalk and a cap diameter of 65 mm in the superior portion, with a total span of 90 mm from stem to cap. The stem measures 15 × 10 mm in width. The mushroom has a spongy pore surface instead of gills. The green-yellow pores have irregular openings (either with edges or round), bruise easily, and turn turquoise. The cap is plane in shape with a scrobiculate and undulating surface. The cap is dark brown with a light, wet margin and appears vientian red at the top and bottom of the stalk but lighter in the middle; it does not exude latex. The cap is short-decurrent, thick, broad, and mature. The stem is even, entire, central, flexuous, fibrous, and stuffed. This mushroom is lignicolous, found on redwood cedar, and connate with others. It smells like a mushroom and has no distinct taste.
Microscopic: The spores are yellow, rice-grain shaped, with a dark spot in the center. They measure on average 5 µm wide and 11.65 µm long, with a margin of error of 1 µm. The measurements were taken randomly from a cluster of spores from the spore print. The spores appear light-colored under a compound microscope.
