The type collection was made in July 2005, in Palode, a village in the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala State, India.

The cap margin, initially curved inward before straightening in age, has fine grooves and a scalloped edge.

Cheilocystidia (cystidia on the gill edge) are abundant, and have a shape ranging from cylindrical to club-shaped to utriform (like a leather bottle).

They are thin-walled, hyaline or pale yellowish, and measure 15–37 by 7.5–10 μm; there are no cystidia on the gill faces (pleurocystidia).
