Stem 10–45×1–5mm, tapering slightly towards the base, which has some rhizoids and white mycelium; pale, dirty fawn or pale greenish-buff; solid, smooth or with minute, hairy furrows. Flesh thin; whitish; taste and smell mealy. Gills adnate to decurrent, close, narrow; whitish to creamy yellow. Spores 5–6.5×3–4¼, ellipsoid, smooth; nonamyloid. Spore print white. Habitat scattered or in groups on leaf litter or debris under coniferous or deciduous trees; summer to autumn. Rare. Unknown edibility.
