Paraphyses simple, with rounded ends which are sometimes subclavate.
3-5um wide, up to 5.4um wide at apex. -- n=10,

Spores Inamyloid in melzer’s, roughly 16-18um longitudinally. I will add better measurements when I get a chance. Clamp connections present, found using phloxine, all photos taken at 400x. Will add ITS sequence when possible.
