Spores globose, subglobose to ovoid (subpolyhedrally irregular in some specimens), 10–20 (–24) × 10–18 µm, yellow to dark reddish brown; wall 3–8 µm thick, consisting of a homogenous endospore 1–2 µm thick and a smooth multilayered exospore, sometimes with a short hyaline papilla. [Spore measurements made in unheated lactophenol; in heated lactophenol or in water the spore wall and the spores swell considerably.]
Spore germination resulting in holobasidia producing 4–8 apical allantoid to fusiform symmetrical septate basidiospores that do not fuse but germinate apically to produce ballistoconidia. Asymmetrical ballisto-basidiospores also produced on basidial sterigmata.
