- SPORES Hyaline, thin-walled, globose to subglobose, approximately 5-7 μm in diameter
- MYCELIUM Monomitic, with generative hyphae, typically hyaline and thin-walled
- CAP PILEUS Thin, resupinate or slightly effused-reflexed crust-like formation, typically with a smooth to slightly granular surface texture
