Cystidia measurements: (27.4) 27.43 – 45.6 × 4.2 – 7.3 µm, Q = 5.3 – 7.85 (7.9); N = 5, Me = 39.5 × 5.9 µm; Qe = 6.8. Basidia ellipsoid to clavate, terminal and 4-sterigmate. Basidia measurements: (9) 10.3 – 16.6 (17.9) × (6.5) 6.7 – 7.5 (7.9) µm, Q = (1.3) 1.5 – 2.4 (2.7); N = 22, Me = 13.7 × 7.1 µm; Qe = 1.9. Spores smooth, hyaline, thin-walled, apiculate and cylindrical to slightly sigmoid. Some spores repetitive.
