Context thin, yellow to nearly concolorous with pileus, hygrophanous and translucent. Lamellae arcuate-decurrent, narrow at both ends, bright yellow or slightly orange yellow, waxy and fragile, subdistant, usually having 1-3 unequal lamellulae between two lamellae; lamellar edge even, usually gelatinised and sometimes translucent.
