Basidiospores colorless and hyaline, occasionally with brown to dark brown contents, non-amyloid, non-dextrinoid, subglobose to broadly ellipsoid, thin- to slightly thick-walled, echinate. Cheilocystidia subcylindrical to narrowly clavate, heavily incrusted. Pleurocystidia absent. Pileipellis an ixohymeniderm, intermixed with subcylindrical to narrowly clavate, heavily incrusted pileocystidia. Caulocystidia evenly distributed. Chlamydospores not observed.
