- Diagnosis
- Basidiocarp small (approximately 2.5 mm in height, 2.7 mm in diameter), stipitate with centrally attached pileus. Entire surface densely covered with
translucent hyphal hairs 0.1–0.4 mm in length and 5–15 μm in width. Pileus suborbicular with rounded margins and flattened upper surface. Stipe subcylindrical, slightly attenuated toward base. Hymenophore not preserved, suggesting immature developmental stage. Distinguished from extant Russulaceae by comprehensive pileal and stipital hair coverage and small basidiocarp dimensions.
