Growing abundantly on piles of small hardwood debris in the floodplain of Third Creek near Platanus occidentalis, Acer negundo, Acer sacchariferm, Ulmus sp., Salix nigra, Fraxinus sp., Rhamnus cathartica, Lonicera maacki, and Campsis radicans. Caps dry; glabrous; translucent-striate; up to 19.6 mm wide and 3.2 mm tall. Gills short-decurrent; frequently forking. Stems smooth; up to 9.8 mm long and 1.0 mm wide. Associated with whitish rhizomorphs binding woody debris together. Odor not distinctive. Taste not distinctive. Not bioluminescent. Lamellar trama inamyloid. Clamps present in the lamellar trama. Lamellar cystidia not clearly differentiated. Basidia 4-sterigmate. Spores, inamyloid, hyaline, smooth, and thin-walled. Spore measurements: (6.8) 6.9 – 8.3 (9.3) × (3.4) 3.7 – 4.3 (4.6) µm; Q = (1.7) 1.8 – 2 (2.1); N = 9; Me = 7.7 × 4.1 µm; Qe = 1.9
