A small, dull‑coloured agaric forming scattered groups on mossy, litter‑rich forest floors beneath Myrtaceae. The species shows a consistent combination of dry, matt caps, pale to dark rose‑brown colours, and widely spaced, strongly decurrent gills, despite variation in cap waviness and colour saturation. Microscopy and sequencing will be required to place it confidently within Hodophilus.
Cap: 15-45 mm, convex to plano‑convex, often irregular or wavy, sometimes shallowly depressed; surface dry, matt, finely fibrillose, colours ranging from pale pinkish‑buff to rose‑brown, violet‑brown, or grey‑brown. Margin even, sometimes uplifted or undulating in older specimens.
Gills: Strongly decurrent, distant, thickish, pale cream‑buff to pinkish‑buff, sometimes with a faint rosy or violaceous tint.
Stipe: 25-60 x 3-6 mm, cylindrical, dry, fibrous, concolorous with or paler than the cap; base sometimes slightly thickened or rooting into moss.
Flesh: Thin, whitish to pale buff; odour indistinct or faintly earthy.
