Notes:
Cap: reddish brown, expallent but not pellucid striate, without pellicle.
Basidia: 4-spored.
Spores: very variable in size, broadly ellipsoid, 6-8(9)/4.5-5.5µm.
Gill edge: sterile, with projecting hyaline cystidia.
Cheilocystidia: clavate or cylindric subcapitate to capitate, heads up to 10.5µm diam. often swollen below.
Cap cuticle: filamentous, encrusted, clamped.
The spores are similar to T. furfuracea but it is obviously different (ring, opaque cap, more regular shaped cystidia) but doesn’t quite fit T. confragosa as that has subcylindric flexuose cystidia.
