Small pinkish-brown cap, low domal; up to 30 mm diameter; with darker umbo; surface finely fibrillose away from umbo; underlying flesh white; no veil remnants seen. Gills pale, adnate with a slight notch close to attachment; gill edges glassy and distinctly frayed. Stem thin, to 40 x 3 mm; white, dry, covered in fine hairs (caulicystidia) only slightly expanded at base. Spore print dirty brown. Spores elongate and nodulose, 8.0-10.3 x 5.0-6.7 um, mean = 9.0 x 5.7 um; Qav = 1.6. Cheilocystidia abundant, lageniform, thick-walled, with prominent crystal encrustation of the head; accompanied by large numbers of clavte cystidia; pleurocustidia fewer in number but similar.
Easily distinguished from I. asterospora by its spores being more elongate and less knobbly.
Cluster in grass adjacent to Viburnum bodnensis.
