038D87FDFFE2774518FBF891FD42FB83.taxon	description	Pileus 26 – 38 mm diameter, at first conic or hemispheric-conic with incurved margin, then hemispheric to hemispheric-convex, not umbonate or papillate, dark yellow (4 B 4; Buff-Yellow) to yellowish brown (4 B 8; Aniline Yellow), sometimes darker in centre, often becoming paler towards the edge and almost whitish at margin, becoming beige when dry; surface smooth, slightly viscid when moist; margin even, entire, decorated with somewhat fugacious, white to bluing, membranous veil remnants; context yellowish (2 A 3, Celonial Buff). Lamellae adnate-sinuate, 4 – 6 mm high, close or subdistant, yellowish waxy-white when young, becoming pale grayish yellow with purple-brown (8 E 5) mottles when matured, then olive ochre (2 C 5) to dark brown, edges serrulate and remaining whitish, turning bluish during drying or when handled. Stipe 50 – 68 mm × 3.5 – 4.5 mm, equal, slightly flexuous, longitudinally striate, hollow and fragile, white with sheen, becoming beige when dry; surface somewhat bluish when touched or bruised, or on drying, covered with white floccose scales which become bluish when touched; base of stipe with white mycelium; annulus absent; context concolorous with that of pileus, whitish towards the surface. Odor mild. Some mycelium in centre of colony bluish in culture.	en	Ma, Tao, Feng, Ying, Lin, Xiao-Fei, Karunarathna, Samantha C., Ding, Wei-Feng, Hyde, Kevin D.

038D87FDFFE2774518FBF891FD42FB83.taxon	discussion	Pileipellis an ixocutis, 20 – 200 µm thick, made up of creeping, hyaline and colourless, subregular to interwoven, 1 – 4 µm wide filamentous hyphae, occasionally with dark or blackish finely incrusting pigments; subpileipellis dark yellow in KOH, composed of subregular, colourless to yellowish, filamentous to inflated, 2 – 16 µm wide hyphae. Subhymenium subcellular, composed of irregular vesiculose to subglobose cells, 3 – 13.5 × 2 – 12 µm, hyaline, colourless to yellowish, thin-walled to slightly thick-walled (about 0.5 µm). Hymenophoral trama regular, with cylindrical hyphae 2 – 13 µm diam, hyaline, colourless to yellowish, thin-walled to slightly thickwalled (≤ 1.0 µm). Basidia (24 –) 30 – 44 (– 53) × 8 – 14 µm, hyaline and colourless, occasionally yellowish, clavate to broadly clavate, narrowed in lower half or with a short to very long base 8 – 26 (– 30) µm × 2 – 6 µm wide, 4 - spored, sometimes 2 - spored; sterigmata 3 – 6 (– 8) µm. Basidiospores (241 / 5 / 2) (12 –) 13 – 16 (– 19) × (7 –) 8 – 10.5 × 7.5 – 10 (– 11) µm, often ellipsoid, elongate-ellipsoid to subhexagonal, occasionally ovoid, broadly ellipsoid, subrhomboid or subfusiform in face view, Q = (1.4 –) 1.5 – 1.8 (– 2.4), Q = 1.63 ± 0.13; ellipsoid, subellipsoid to nearly oblong in side view, Q = (1.4 –) 1.5 – 1.8 (– 2.0), Q = 1.65 ± 0.10, yellowish brown with purple tinge in water, yellowish brown in KOH, dark purplish brown in deposit; wall smooth, slightly thick to thick (0.5 – 1.5 µm), complex, with distinct 1 – 2 µm wide apical germ pore. Cheilocystidia 22 – 42 (– 46) × 5 – 10.5 µm, hyaline, narrowly clavate, clavate or lageniform-clavate, sometimes lageniform or fusoid-ventricose, occasionally similar to pleurocystidia, but narrower, with a (2 –) 3 – 11 × 1.5 – 4 µm subcapitate tip or neck, rarely forked. Pleurocystidia relatively rare and scattered, 24 – 42 (– 48) × (8 –) 9 – 15 µm, thin-walled, hyaline, ventricose to broadly clavate and fusoid-clavate, often narrower near the apex, obtuse to short rostrum (2 – 4 × 2 – 4 µm). Caulocystidia 23 – 54 × 6 – 10 (– 14) µm, clustered at the upper part of the stipe, thin-walled, hyaline, some of them similar to cheilocystidia, narrowly clavate to lageniform, some oblong-subclavate, with short rounded rostrum, subcapitate apex or neck, 2.5 – 8.5 (– 9.5) × 2 – 4.5 (– 6) µm, sometimes irregularly branched. Clamp connections common in all parts of the basidioma.	en	Ma, Tao, Feng, Ying, Lin, Xiao-Fei, Karunarathna, Samantha C., Ding, Wei-Feng, Hyde, Kevin D.
