Context with loose texture; hyphae fairly rigid, colorless, sometimes with fairly short cells, anastomoses occasionally present, covered with numerous minute crystals, 4-10 μm diam., with 0.5-1.5 μm thick walls. Trama with fairly dense texture; hyphae vertical and parallel, 2.5-4 μm diam., thin-walled. Subhymenium not thickening. Cystidia lacking. Basidia subclavate, 8-11 × 3.5-4.5 μm, 4-sterigmate.
