Description
[edit]Crepidotus affinis has a similar gross morphology with C. exilis, though it has larger basidiospores and clavate cheilocystidia with a small capitate apex. The cap is fan shaped (flabelliform) with a straight margin. Colour is light brown becoming lighter towards the margin with a fine grained wrinkled (rugulose) surface.[3]
