Spores
11-13 x 7-9 µm, 5-6-angled. Basidia 30-50 x 10 µm, 4-spored. Cheilocystidia
in dense clusters at the gill edge, 30-100 x 14-25 µm, clavate, membrane thinwalled,
with brown-blue plasmatic pigment. Pleuro- and caulocystidia none. Cuticle a
cutis of repent or suberect, cylindrical hyphae terminal cells clavate (10-28
