hyphal system_position_close
dense
Trimitic, but not very clearly so except at the extreme base of the fruitbody. Skeletal hyphae, 5-8 µm glassy, often appearing more or less solid and tapering to a long drawn out apex; they are very pale brown or subhyaline and either unbranched or accidentally forked near their extremity. Binding hyphae, inconspicuous, excepting in the basal part of the fruitbody where they form dense coralloid hyaline complexes. These hyphae have highly refractive walls and it is not easy to see whether they are solid or not, but some appear to have only slightly thickened walls. In the remainder of the context binding hyphae are sometimes difficult to distinguish from the generatives except by lack of clamp-connexions and a more refractive appearance. They have trunks up to 4,5 u wide, but the short (not whip-like) branches are 2-3 u wide. Generative hyphae, 2,5-3,0 µm wide, thin-walled, hyaline, septate, with clamp-connexions. Hyphal pegs occasional, up to 104 x 39 µm. Basidia 26 x 8-10 µm. Spores not seen.
