It is characterized by its peculiar mushroom-shaped terminal cells of hyphae in the pileus and stipe cuticles. A detailed morphological description and illustrations are provided. Besides morphological features phylogenetic analysis of ITS region is also used to separate the allied Asian and extralimital taxa.
