Fusoid-ventricose

[…] sp. irregularly elliptic-oblong (angulato-ellipsoideis), 9-15 × 5-7 μ; c. fusoid-ventricose, 60-70 × 19-22 μ.

The fusoid-ventricose type (fig. A13) apparently arises from the basidiole-type by elongation of the apical region of the cell to produce a ± narrow neck tapered to a more or less obtuse apex.

SPORES 7–9 × 4–5 μm, ellipsoid, smooth, with an apical germ pore, thin-walled, purplish brown in deposit; cheilocystidia clavate or fusoid-ventricose; annulus, and fruits in fall and winter at lower elevations.
