Concentric rings on cap, white gills, dark stipe with herringbone-like stiples. Stereo microscopy confirms dense hair on cap of dried specimen (required for Crinipellis). Spores do not show any sign of amyloid ornamentation in either Lugols or Melzers (a characteristic of Melanoleuca per Kuo). Note one branched hyphae which 'could' be a branched basidia (a characteristic of Crinipellis per Kuo), but this seems unlikely as all other basidia seem much smaller.
