Hyphal system: Monomitic, consisting entirely of thin-walled cylindrical generative hyphae 2.5-4 µm wide, sparsely branched; hyphae of the context and hymenial trama hyaline, while tomentum hyphae contain pale brown intracellular pigment; septate with clamp connections.

Cystidia: Absent.

Basidia: Initially clavate, becoming elongated and sinuous-cylindrical with development, 35-80 x 6-8 µm, with basal clamp connections, 4-spored.

Spores: Globose to subglobose, finely verruculose, pale brown under the microscope, with granular contents, inamyloid in Melzer's reagent.
