Excipular cells narrow-cylindric, about 15-25 x 6 µm, walls thin to slightly thickened, encrusted with bright yellow-brown material. Hairs 150-250 x 4 µm, brown, cylindric, not differentiated at apex, roughened all over. Paraphyses 3-4 µm diam., sublanceolate, tapering gradually to rounded apex, extending 10-20 µm beyond asci. Asci 40-55 x 4.5-5 µm, cylindric, apex rounded, wall thickened, narrow J+ pore extending all way through the wall, 8-spored.
