Observe the texture of the lamellae edge by turning over the fruit-body and looking at the lamellae side-on at an angle. Use a x5 hand lens to look carefully at the lamellae edges.

Lamellae edge texture is best observed in young fruit-bodies, because the edge can erode with age.

Choose this state if: the edge of the lamellae is even (entire or smooth) or gently wavy (undulating). If the undulations are very small (crenate or scalloped), choose serrate, crenulate or fimbriate.
