 The rotund to ellipsoid spores are 7 @.@ 5 – 10 µm long and 6 – 7 @.@ 6 µm wide . The surface ornamentation extends to 0 @.@ 5 µm high and is mainly from warts and short , wide ridges , which are linked through few fine lines to form an incomplete net ( reticulum ) . The suprahilar area , a distinctly limited zone above the apiculus , is weakly amyloid . Basidia ( spore @-@ bearing cells ) are four @-@ spored and measure 45 – 60 × 9 @.@ 5 – 12 µm . They are roughly cylindrical to somewhat club @-@ shaped and often have an oil droplet or a granular body . The sterigmata are 4 @.@ 5 – 5 @.@ 5 µm long . The thin @-@ walled pleurocystidia are sparse , but somewhat common near the gill edge . They are protruded and are 45 – 65 µm long and 5 – 8 µm wide , they are sometimes smaller near the gill edge . Nearly spindle @-@ shaped , they are often straightened or constricted like a string of pearls at the apex . The body is often fine and grained . <unk> are largely present . They are 4 – 6 µm wide and are sometimes protruded , but are often shorter than the basidioles ( basidia in the early developmental stage ) . The basidioles are cylindric to spiral and have an ochre @-@ coloured substance , similar to the <unk> . Near the top they are , however , almost hyaline ( transparent ) . The gill edge is usually sterile and has a few to many cheilocystidia . The thin @-@ walled <unk> are 15 – 25 µm long and 5 – 10 µm wide . They are almost club @-@ shaped or irregularly shaped and transparent , and often contain a granular material . The <unk> are also thin @-@ walled and measure 25 – 50 µm long and 6 – 8 µm wide . They are slightly spindle @-@ shaped and often have a tip resembling a string of pearls ; their interior is hyaline or granular . <unk> are abundant , striking and body is ochre coloured . The cuticle of the cap is an ixocutis , whereby the hyphae are linked in a <unk> matrix , that can swell up in moisture to become heavily slimy .
