Description: Pileus -35 mm diam., hemispherical when young
becoming convex-umbonate to campanulate; beige to light brown, reddish brown
in centre; slightly viscid when wet, innately fibrillose, veil remnants absent.
Lamellae adnate, densely crowded, ventricose; grey turning beige-brownish, edge
paler, fimbriate. Stipe 25-50 x -5 mm, cylindrical, with strongly marginate,
bulbous base (-12 mm diam.); whitish turning reddish brownish; pruinate for
whole length; solid, single in groups; bulb outside white. Context whitish to
light brownish. Odour spermatic.
Spores 10-13 x 7-10 µm, nodulose, with conspicuous
knobs, brown. Basidia 28-35 x 8-9 µm, 4-spored. Cheilo- and pleurocystidia 65-90
x 16-26 µm, fusoid, thick-walled (-4 µm diam.), with yellow-brown plasmatic
pigment, encrusted. Caulocystidia like cheilocystidia but smaller. Cuticle a
cutis of cylindrical hyphae (4-12 µm diam.), encrusted with brown pigment. Clamp
