Gomphidius maculatus

Suprapellis composed of filamentous hyphae, interwoven, 3-8 µm wide, with slight intracellular pigment and abundant incrustations on their surface, widely separated from each other by gelification, with simple septa, without clamps.

Cystidia numerous and large, on both gill edge and gill face, cylindrical, sinuous to very slightly fusiform, up to 130 µm long by 25 µm wide, with rounded apices.

Basidia cylindrical to very slightly clavate, up to 60 µm long, without basal clamps, 4-spored.

Spores ellipsoidal to subfusiform, smooth and thick-walled, yellowish-brown under the microscope, with an inconspicuous eccentric apiculus and granular internal content.
