　Description： Growth on yeast extract-malt extract agar: After 3 days at 25 ℃, the cells are ellipsoidal (2.4-7.8×1.8-4.1 μm), and occur singly or in pairs. Vegetative reproduction is accomplished by multilateral budding. Growth on yeast extract-malt extract agar: After 7 days at 25 ℃, streak cultures are creamy, butyrous, smooth, convex, glistening and entire. Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar: On Dalmau plate cultures on corn meal agar after 10 days at 25 ℃, neither pseudomycelium nor true mycelium is formed under the cover glass Formation of basidiospores: After 10 days at 18 ℃ on CM agar, YM agar, McClary’s acetate agar, malt extract agar, and V8 agar, basidiospores are absent.
