ORIG DESCRIPTION* Spores 50-60 x 13-15 µm. Outline elongated fusiform to lanceolate, with central portion broader and ends gradually tapered. Ends, however, remain obtuse. Spore composed of 9 cells. Septa hyaline, might be split in the middle. Inaperturate. Spore wall about 1 µm thick, surface psilate.
