Hyphal system monomitic; subicular hyphae cylindrical, thin-walled, interwoven, 2 to 4 µm wide, slightly flexuous, septate with conspicuous clamp connections.

Cystidia or other sterile hymenial elements absent.

Basidia cylindrical-clavate, 12 to 23 µm long, 3 to 5 µm wide, clamped at the base, 4-spored.

Spores ellipsoidal to lacrimoid, smooth, hyaline, thin-walled, with a slightly curved, pointed apicular end, 4 to 5 µm long, 2 to 2.5 µm wide, with very faint granular content inside, inamyloid in Melzer's reagent.
