Odour none. Basidia 16-27 x 7-9 µm, clavate, 4-spored. Spores 7.5 - 9.8 x 4.5 -5.7 µm, Q = 1.3-1.8, Qav ˜ 1.5, pip-shaped, amyloid. Cheilocystidia 16-33 x 10-17 µm, forming a sterile band, clavate to obpyriform, apically covered with cylindrical excrescences 1 - 7 x 0.5 µm. Pleurocystidia absent. Lamellar trama dextrinoid. Hyphae of the pileipellis 3-12 µm wide, densely covered with cylindrical excrescences up to 3 x 0.5 µm. Hyphae of the cortical layer of the stem 1 - 5 µm wide, smooth to sparsely covered with minute warts to cylindrical excrescences 0.5-1 x 0.5 µm, terminal cells clavate, diverticulate.
