Galerina marginata

Filamentous pileipellis composed of a layer of hyaline hyphae, parallel to very slightly interwoven, with mostly clamped septa.

Caulocystidia scattered, present only on the upper stipe.

Cheilocystidia fusiform to lageniform, up to 60 µm long by 18 µm wide; pleurocystidia scarce, scattered, of similar morphology to cheilocystidia, up to 75 µm long.

Basidia cylindrical to very slightly clavate, up to 30 µm long, with basal clamp connections, predominantly 4-spored.

Spores ellipsoidal, thick- and moderately verrucose-walled, yellowish-brown under the microscope, with an eccentric apiculus at one end and granular content.
