(Pers.) Kühner

Study description
Cellular pileipellis, formed by spherical to slightly pyriform hyphae, hyaline or only very slightly pigmented ochraceous.
Caulocystidia cylindrical, sinuous, some of them pyriform, without lecythiform caulocystidia (Section Pilosellae).
Cheilocystidia lecythiform, hyaline, with a short neck. The width measurements indicated here correspond to the width of the capitulum, not the broadest part of the base.
Basidia clavate and 4-spored.
Spores ellipsoidal, smooth, thick-walled, yellow under the microscope, with an inconspicuous lateral apiculus at one end and a faint germ pore at the opposite end, with granular content, darkening significantly in KOH.
