[2] Cyptotrama pauper is a small red-pink mushroom with thin and fragile white or pale flesh.

The surface is red but fades to pink with age, it is smooth or with finely appressed or fibrillose scales.

The surface is pink and smooth but pale or white and silky towards the apex and it runs equally or with a slight taper towards the top.

The interior is a hollow tube (tubulose) and the base has silky white mycelium present.

[3] The specimens studied by Singer were found growing on the fallen trunk of a Dicotyledonous tree in the tropical forest on the road between Manaus and Itacoatiara, Brazil.
