Imleria badia

Formerly known as Xerocomus badius, without a reticulate stipe and with pores that blue very faintly upon pressure.

Pileipellis filamentous, with hyphae 4-8 µm wide, separated by gelification, with very abundant brown encrusting intracellular pigment, erect terminal elements, septate with simple septa (clampless).

Cystidia scarce, not observed in this mount; literature describes them as fusiform, 38-70 µm long and 9-14 µm wide.

Basidia clavate, 30-45 µm long and 9-11 µm wide, without basal clamps, 4-spored.

Spores fusiform, smooth- and thick-walled, pale yellow under the microscope, with a lateral apiculus at one end and faint vacuolar internal content.
