Basidiomata small-sized. Pileus 2.53.5 cm broad, convex or plano-convex; lamellar edge entire; at centre brownish orange (6C8) abruptly paler to light orange (5A5) at margin; surface dry, velutinous or rimose, staining absent; context white, staining absent. Hymenophore lamellate, decurrent; lamellae subdistant with lamellulae, ventricose, intervenose to anastomosing, pastel yellow (1A4), staining absent. Stipe 3.55 cm long, 0.30.4 cm wide, mostly equal, venose light orange, staining absent; context solid, white, slightly blue at first, later become reddish orange (7A8). Basal mycelium white.

Basidia (27.7)27.830.933.8(33.8) × (7.8)7.99.410.5(10.5) μm, clavate, hyaline, 4-spored. Cheilocystidia (47.5)47.766.481(81.1) × (12.1)12.11518.9(18.9) μm, broadly clavate. Pleurocystidia (58.1)58.87691.7(91.8) × (12.6)12.715.919.3(19.4) μm, utriform to sublageniform. Hymenophoral trama 125250 μm thick, regular composedof 1215 μm wide cylindrical, smooth, hyaline hyphae. Pileipellis interwoven trichoderm with terminal cells 2452 × 913 μm, granular content present, with abundant cell wall encrustations pigment visible in aqueous Congo Red, also in sub-terminal cells. Pileus trama made of hyaline 1025 μm wide. Stipitipellis 75125 μm thick, with parallel hyphae and caulocystidia (27.0)27.349.669.5(69.7) × (12)1216.119.5(19.5) μm, clavate, hyaline, smooth. Stipe trama parallel, cylindrical, hyaline hyphae 12.515 μm wide. Clamp connections absent in all tissues. (Figs. 1-2)

 

 

MycoBank number: MB 827268, Facesoffungi number: FoF 04844.

 

Etymology: subrubeolus refers to the reddish brown pileus as well as to the close relationship with P. rubeolus.
