Microscopic:
spores 18-24 x 4-6 microns, narrowly elliptic, boletoid or sway-backed in profile, smooth, inamyloid, pale yellow in KOH, thin-walled, contents multiguttulate and refringent to aguttulate and amorphous; basidia (2-)4-spored, 65-105 x 8-12.5 microns, clavate, clamped, sterigmata 8-9.5 microns long; leptocystidia scattered and scarcely projecting, 50-70 x 2.5-5 microns, "cylindric to narrowly clavate, at times apically or subapically branched", walls thin and smooth, contents amorphous, pale yellow in KOH, clamp connections uninflated; hymenium extending over the apex of the fruitbody; subhymenium rudimentary; hyphae of trama 3-12 microns wide, "more or less parallel to longitudinally interwoven basally, more loosely interwoven upward, radially interwoven beneath the subhymenium, uninflated or inflated (-12 microns), branched", walls thin or irregularly thickened to 1 micron wide, smooth, contents amorphous, pale yellow in KOH, clamp connections uninflated or inflated (-12 microns), sometimes medallion or ampulliform; gloeoplerous hyphae 3-9.5 microns wide, "arising from generative hyphae at clamp connections, scattered throughout the trama, more abundant downward, uninflated, inflated (-14 microns) or strangulated, branched", walls thin and smooth, contents subopalescent, pale yellow in KOH, refractive under phase contrast, clamped, (Methven), spores (13)16-24(28) x 4-6 microns; basidia 60-115 x 8.5-13 microns, (Corner(3))
