A pleurotoid, wood-inhabiting member of Rhizocybe, representing a Southern Hemisphere ecological shift within the genus. Unlike the terrestrial, rooting European species, this New Zealand lineage forms fan­shaped, sessile fruit bodies directly on decaying wood.

Note: This is an unnamed species that has a tag name of "Pureora" and may be misidentified; a fresh collection and sequencing is required.
Pileus: Fan­shaped to semicircular, often overlapping in tiered clusters. Size is typically 30-60 mm across. Surface smooth, matte to slightly silky; colours pale brown, grey-brown, or fawn, darker towards the centre and paler at the margin. The margin is thin, wavy, and sometimes slightly lobed, often lighter than the disc. Attachment sessile or with a very short lateral stipe, directly attached to the wood.
Lamellae: Pale cream to light buff. Spacing moderately close, decurrent running down from the point of attachment.
Stipe: Often absent or extremely reduced; when present, short, lateral, and inconspicuous. The colour is similar to gills or slightly darker.
Context: Thin, pale; flexible in fresh material.
Odour/tast: Not recorded
