Description.

Pileus 21.4 mm in diameter, plane, disc deeply indented, margin entire, surfacedry, with distinct radial dark brown fibrils on pale background, sometimes cracked when dry or old, pileus edge dark brown. Lamellae up to 4 mm broad, adnate to decurrent, subdistant, yellowish white and light pink, entire, veined. Stipe 36.4 × 2.2 cm, green, yellowish green, equal, surface dry, with yellow tiny fibrils, base white with hypha, staining bright greenish blue when bruised.

Basidiospores 8.9–12.5 × 5.8–8.0 μm [x ̄ = 10.9 ± 0.9 × 7.2 ± 0.5 μm, Q = 1.2–1.8, Q m = 1.5 ± 0.1, n = 20], heterodiametric, with 6–7 angles in side-view. Basidia 31.6–43.4 × 12.4–17.4 μm, 4 - spored. Cheilocystidia not observed. Pileipellis a cutis with a cylindrical to slightly inflated hyphae 4.5–14.5 μm wide, hyaline. Membranous pigment. Clamp connections absent.

Notes.

Our sample clustered with European samples including the type of E. verae in the phylogenetic tree with full statistical values. Morphological characteristics of our sample generally coincides with the original description. Small differences are pileus color and basidiospore size. The pileus of our sample is darker and the basidiospore is smaller compared to the original description ( Crous et al. 2021).
