Basidiome annual, stipitate, laccate, corky. Pileus 12–6.5 × 5.5–2.5 cm, up to 0.5 cm thick at the base, orbicular to subreniform, mesopodal; upper surface reddish-brown (8E5, 8E6, 8D5) to grayish brown (8F1) alternating colour zones, slightly concentrically sulcate with irregularly ruptured crust; margin soft, grayish-brown (8F1); lower surface white (8A1), turns reddish-white (8A2) when drying. Hymenophore up to 15 mm long, indistinctly stratose; pores initially brownish orange (5C4), bruising brown (6E8), pores circular, 4–6 per mm. Context up to 6 mm thick, duplex, dry; upper layer light brown (5D6), fibrous, composed of coarse loose fibrils, brown (6E8), corky; lower layer light brown (5A5), woody. Stipe eccentric or central, subcylindrical, concolorous with the pileus, 4 × 9 cm. Basidiospores (n = 20) (11.2–)11.8–12.5–13.3(14.5–) × (–8.2)8.8–9.8–10.7(–11.3) μm (Qm = 1.3, Q = 1.1–1.4, with myxosporium). (11.2–)8.3–9.3–10.4(–10.6) × (5.6–)5.8–6.9–8.0(–8.4) μm (Qm = 1.3, Q = 1.1–1.6)), subglobose to broadly ellipsoid, brownish-yellow (5B3), with a brown eusporium, overlaid by a hyaline myxosporium. Pileipellis a hymeniderm, brownish-orange (5C4), clavate like cells, dextrinoid. Context trimitic; generative hyphae (n = 25) (0.3–1.2–2.6) μm, hyaline, thin-walled with clamp connections; skeletal hyphae (n = 25) (1.1–2.8–3.6) μm, thick-walled, nearly solid, sometimes branched, light brown (7D5); binding hyphae (n = 20) (0.7–1.9–2.5) μm, thick-walled, branched, nearly solid, light brown (7D5).
