 The paraphyses (sterile filamentous hyphal cells) are unbranched, threadlike (filiform), gradually enlarge to a width of 2.0 μm at the tip, and have granular contents.The thin-walled cylindrical to club-shaped asci (spore-bearing cells) are on a short stalk, and measure 70–105 by 8–10 μm; each ascus contains eight ascospores.Ascospores, which measure 45–65 by 3.0 μm, have a thin but distinct sheath, and lack septa (cross-walls).
