Notes:

Fruitbody: resupinate, thin, adherent, mucedinous, sparsely pilose.

Spores: 8/6µm, echinulate.

Basidia: hyaline, clamped, 4-spored.

Hyphae: clamped, hyaline, becoming brown.

Pilosity appears to be due to conidiophores of a hyphomycete (Penicllium?) with globose hyaline conidia 2-3µm diam, produced from a terminal whorl or whorl of whorls of short phialides.
