Notes:

Cap: unchanging in KOH.

Spore print: BFF: "B", strongly amyloid.

Cap cuticle: hyaline, brownish, sphaerocysts, 15-25µm diam.

Gill edge: subfertile (but then the gill isn’t very fertile either)

Basidia: 4-spored.

Spores: subglobose, 4-5/3.5µm, weakly amyloid. Spores from the spore print (a few days old as it wasn’t dropping many spores) seemed to be mixed weakly amyloid and weakly dextrinoid.
