 It is unique in the "Tricholomataceae" due to the presence of long and conspicuous cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia, which arise from below the hymenium and are clear and thin-walled.The lamellar trama is parallel and clamp connections are present.Macroscopically, it resembles "Tricholoma" and "Leucopaxillus", however the presence of prominent lamellar cystidia separate it from "Tricholoma" and the smooth inamyloid spores distinguish it from "Leucopaxillus".
