Public Note:
The holotype consists of half of one small fruitbody. The remainder presumably in the Horak personal collection. The frb shows efflorescense. Veil apparent on lower surface of annulus and perimeter of the pileus, but remainder of the pileus relatively smooth. Lamellar edge a band of parallel hyphae with collapsed pyriform cystidia, difficult to isolate. Basidia 4-spored and no 2-spored basidia seen. Spores pale, Length: µ=5.7 µm, σ=0.27; Width: µ=3.7 µm, σ=0.21; Q: µ=1.53, σ=0.09; V: µ=41.8 µm^3, σ=5.81: n=30
