Description: Fruit bodies up to 50 'x 4 mm, simple clubs, gregarious, not fasciculate, arising from small white mycelial pads, narrowly fusiform to narrowly cylindrical. Stipe base pastel yellow-orange ("capucine-buff"), upward apricot-salmon ("salmonĀ¬orange"), terete, not tapering. Club somewhat brighter, to pastel pinkish orange ("light salmon-orange", "bittersweet-pink", "capucine-orange"), terete to subsulcate or longitudinally grooved. Apex rounded, tapering. Taste bitter; odour none.
Macrochemical reaction: FCL = darkening, but not green.
Micromorphology as in typical form.
Notes: This form does not show the bold yellow-orange colouration of the typical form, but its spores are broadly ovate and very strongly apiculate. As such, it is another permutation in the Ramariopsis antillarum, R. depokensis, R. laeticolor cluster.
