Microscopic:
spores 8.5-11 x 3.5-4 microns, cylindric to slightly allantoid, smooth, inamyloid, colorless; basidia 4-spored, 25-30 x 5-6.5 microns, clavate, with basal clamp connection; caulocystidia up to about 80 microns long, with thickened base; hyphal system monomitic: in the subhymenium 1-2.5 microns wide, indistinct and strongly gelatinized, in the pith 3-5.5 microns wide and septa with clamp connections, in the cortex of stem strongly agglutinated, (Breitenbach), spores 6-9.5 x 2-3.5(4) microns, (but with other authors varying to 5-9.5 x 2-4.5 microns), cylindric, smooth, white, without droplets; basidia 4-spored (2-spored according to Bourdot and Galzin), 20-30 x 5-7 microns, sterigmata 4-5 microns long; cystidia none; caulocystidia very scattered (?very reduced or absent in some), up to 75 x 4-8 microns at base, conic, slightly thick-walled in proximal part, tapered to an acute thin-walled apex; subhymenium about 20 microns thick, of cells 6-12 x 2.5-4 microns wide and connected to the longitudinal hyphae by a cortex 20-30 microns wide, composed of similar but larger cells 15-25 x 6-12 microns; deeper hyphae 5-20 microns wide, the longitudinal hyphae with long fusiform cells (up to 500 microns long), with or without clamp connections, shorter-celled and more inflated at the base of the stem (cells 25-200 x 10-30 microns), with slightly and rather softly mucilaginous walls, the narrow hyphae (3-9 microns wide) at the surface of the stem firmly agglutinated and slightly thick-walled (at the apex of the stem generally thin-walled and not agglutinated, and with scattered sterile basidia), a few narrow hyphae 3-5 microns wide, with resinous-oleaginous contents; cuticle of sclerotium 5-8 microns thick, yellow brown, cortex of sclerotium 40-60 microns thick, composed of many agglutinated hyphae 3-8 microns wide, not in distinct layers, medulla white, composed of free, loosely interwoven hyphae, mostly 5-9 microns wide, thick-walled (walls 1-2 microns) and densely incrusted with small colorless crystals 1-3 x 0.5-2 microns, a few hyphae 3-5 microns wide and thin-walled, in surface view with irregular oblong cells, the lumina 12-20 x 4-8 microns, separated by rather wavy brown walls 2-3 microns thick, (Corner)
