Chemical reactions: NA

Spore print: NA

Hyphal system: Monomitic and clamped with blocky, stellate encrustations; subicular hyphae ampullate, often aggregating together into cordons, width (2.4) 2.5–3.1 (3.3) µm (n = 10); subhymenial hyphae slightly larger and less frequently ampullate, width (2.6) 3.0–4.2 (4.5) µm (n = 10).
