Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar: On Dalmau plate cultures on corn meal agar after 10 days at 25 ℃, pseudomycelium can be found 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, sexual spores are absent.
