The hymenophore is perennial, poroid and brown. The trama consists of two layers, which are separated from each other by a thin, crusty border. The dimitic or trimitic hyphae system consists of colorless, simply septate and branched generative hyphae and brown skeletal hyphae, which also have simple septa and apical branches. Setae present in the hymenium , other setae absent. Hyphae at the corners of the partitions sometimes with an apical incrustation . The smooth- and thin-walled spores are usually obverse club-shaped, mostly cylindrical and slightly cyanophilic.
