Context apricot, ceraceous. Hyphal system dimitic. Generative hyphae clamped, hyaline. Skeleto-binding hyphae regularly branched, thick-walled, pigmented, CB+. Binding hyphae that in the context are dicophyses-like to arboriform or arachnoid in aspect; these dicophysal elements are present in the dissepiments and the tubes only when the hymenium becomes old. All the basidiome filled with an oily-like resinous substance responsible for the basidiome coloration. Cystidia none, but some cystidiols may be present.
