The thick-walled spores are ellipsoidal, smooth, and have a small apical germ pore; they measure 16.1 19.0 by 8.8 11.0 ?m.

A spore often has a protrusion at one end, called an apiculus, which is the point of attachment to the basidium, termed the apical germ pore, from which the hypha emerges when the spore germinates.

Microscopically, they are characterized by pileipellis with hyphae that run parallel to the pileus surface, forming a " cutis ", by their lack of chrysocystidia, and by spores that are smooth, ellipsoid to rhomboid to subhexagonal in shape, with a distinct apical germ pore.
