Description: Cap: 2-5 cm in diameter, convex, becoming broadly convex with a central depression at maturity, smooth, brownish yellow, rusty yellowish, or orange and usually darker towards the centre. Hymenophore: Gills running down the stem, fairly distant, usually with many cross-veins and pale yellow or orange. Stem: 1-5 cm tall and up to 3 mm thick, more or less equal, smooth, yellowish above and darker below, smooth above and finely hairy at the base and tough. Flesh: Fragile. Spore Print: White.
