Fruit bodies 20–100 mm wide, 20–50 mm long from base to margin, 5–15 mm thick, annual, flat, thin, often with a tubercle at the base, imbricate, sometimes fused laterally along the substrate [3]. Shape and mode of attachment to the substrate vary: when growing on lateral surfaces—fan-shaped, semi-resupinate, attached laterally, sessile; on upper surfaces—rosette-like, rounded, attached centrally. Surface glabrous, radially wrinkled, concentrically zoned, brown, chestnut, purplish-brown, with a lighter margin.
Hymenophore lamellate, dichotomously branched, sometimes with anastomoses, initially light, yellowish-creamy, becoming light brown at maturity, darkening to dark brown with age, sometimes with a silvery sheen. In young fruit bodies, the gills turn slightly brown when damaged.
