The cap is white, becoming dull ochre with age, convex, kidney- or bracket-shaped if attached laterally, sometimes circular if attached from the top to its substrate, often tiered; its margin is incurved and thin, grooved and wavy. The cap surface is downy to felty, slightly wrinkled radially, non gelatinous. The stem is absent most of the time, sometimes present but rudimentary. The flesh is whitish, unchanging; its taste is mild, tasteless; the odour is faint or not distinctive; its texture is fibrous. The gills are white then salmon-ochre to yellowish, with a hairy and white edge, distant . The spore print is snuff-brown. This species is saprophytic. It grows on dead wood, on stumps, large fallen branches of deciduous trees. The fruiting period takes place all year long.
