 The spore print is white . Spores are roughly elliptical to tear @-@ shaped , with dimensions of 5 @.@ 0 – 7 @.@ 5 by 2 @.@ 4 – 4 @.@ 0 μm . The basidia ( spore @-@ bearing cells ) are four @-@ spored , and measure 20 – 40 by 7 – 11 μm . Cheilocystidia ( cystidia on the gill edge ) are thin walled , plentiful , spindle @-@ shaped to somewhat flask @-@ shaped with a sharp tip , and measure 30 – 70 by 3 – 10 μm . The pleurocystidia ( on the gill face ) are similar in shape and size to the cheilocystidia , although usually not quite as numerous . The cap cuticle is made of a hymeniderm of club @-@ shaped to somewhat spherical cells measuring 8 – 25 by 7 – 20 μm , mixed with flask @-@ shaped pileocystidia ( cystidia on the cap ) that are 20 – 45 by 5 – 11 μm . Hyphae lack clamp connections .
