Biggest cup ever seen: 1 cm in diameter. Hairs are 1.5mm. On soil, among moss. Color is really a deep orange with some red in it. It has few pairs of setae inside a 'wing'/sheath. Rooting is narrow, from 1-2 'legs' on marginal setae; up to 4 on excipulum setae. Spores are all round.

In rock crevice, growing on bare ultramafic soil, each mushroom actually attached to a small piece of rock embedded in the red clay. Pileus bright white, minutely fuzzy/scurfy, ruffled at the edge in maturity. Lamellae white, wavy, decurrent. Stipe white with slight basal tomentum.

Collected by an unknown West Virginia Mushroom Club foray participant. Growing on Platanus occidentalis bark. Caps pale brown (2.5Y 8/4 in Munsell); up to 8.4 mm wide and 2.6 mm tall.
