Description: Pileus -30 mm diam., hemispherical becoming
convex to umbonate expanded; brown at disc, yellow-brown towards the margin,
in young carpophores margin densely covered with yellow strigose fibrils or
hairs, later washed off; dry, fibrillose, estriate. Lamellae adnexed or emarginate-adnate,
ventricose, crowded; light yellow turning yellow-brown; brownish fimbriate edges.
Stipe 20-45 x 3-4 mm, cylindrical, equal; yellowish turning wax-yellow or yellowish
brownish, with pink tints towards the base; upper half pruinate, with appressed
white fibrils towards base; dry, solid, veil remnants absent, single or grown
together. Context yellowish with greenish tints, white in base of stipe. Odour
acidulous, like Lepiota cristata. Spores 6-7 x 4.5-5 µm, ovoid, smooth, brown.
Basidia 18-26 x 7 µm, 4-spored. Cheilocystidia 15-35 x 10-18 µm, clavate to
vesicular, thin-walled, hyaline, not encrusted. Pleurocystidia 35-50 x 13-8
µm, fusoid, thick-walled (-2 µm diam.), encrusted. Caulocystidia -100 x -12
µm, cylindrical to fusoid with a long neck, thin-walled, occasionally encrusted

cerea: they re the yellow colour of the fruiting bodies, in young specimens
yellow strigose hairs along margins of the pileus, the vesiculose cheilocystidia,
and the ovoid pores.
