Cystidia of variable length, 4-6 μm in diam, cylindrical, incrusted with crystals, subhyaline to pale brown, thick, smooth or occasionally with a few spine-like processes. Acanthophyses 20-50 × 3-6 μm, clavate to clavate-cylindrical, naked or covered with crystals, subhyaline to tinted brown, covered with spines.
