The basidia are abruptly club-shaped, rather distant and separated regularly by rounded cells, four spored. |
In the young stage the basidia in the Hypogi are easily distinguished by the aid of the microscope. |
At the microscopic level the basidiospores are shot off basidia and then fall between the gills in the dead air space. |
The basidia, spicules, and quaternate spores agree with those of Agaricini. |
After a few more days of incubation, the ends of some mycelia may enlarge and form basidia within which nuclear fusion and meiosis may occur. |
Then there will be either lamellae, or gills, or pores, with hymenial layers bearing the basidia. |
