It grows on deciduous wood, to which it is attached at the side by at most only a rudimentary stem (it is "
pleurotoid"). The cap grows up to wide and is
hygrophanous, white to ochraceous when damp and drying whitish. The spores, around 5–6
μm, are almost spherical and warty. It has a brown
spore print. There are many lookalikes. It is distinguished from the very similar
Crepidotus stenocystis by the shape of the
cheilocystidia (clavate and unbranched) and the habitat on broad-leaf timber. It is inedible. ==References==
