Synonyms:

Macromorphology:

Micromorphology:

Spores:

7-9 x 1.5-2 µm, long allantoid, thin-walled, smooth, inamyloid.

Basidia:

15-20 x 4-6 µm, cylindric up to clavate, with one slight suburniformen constriction and one basal clamp each.

Sterigmata:

Four, 2.5 µm long.

Cystidia:

Tubular tramacystidia, 50-100 x 4-6 µm, isolated in hymenium, thick-walled (up to 0.5 µm), apical thin-walled. They arise from the basal hyphae.

Clamps:

All primary septa with one clamp each.

Hyphae:

Hyphal system monomitic. Hyphae of the subhymenium thin-walled, short celled, 2.5-4 µm in diameter. Basal hyphae thick-walled (up to 0.5 µm), 2-4 µm in diameter. Hyphal branching by subseptal outgrowing or outgrowing of the clamps.

Aculei:

Inside the aculei there are clustered and thick-walled tramacystidia.
