| They resemble each other very much, except that the basidia bear four sterigmata and a spore on each. |
| Most importantly, monokaryotic hyphae can produce basidia and spores that are indistinguishable from sexually produced spores, except that they are all the same mating type. |
| The basidia are called mother-cells because they produce the spores. |
| The basidia are abruptly club-shaped, rather distant and separated regularly by rounded cells, four spored. |
| These cystidia extend above the basidia, and the ends are rounded so that sometimes they appear capitate. |
| Paraphyses and sometimes cystidia or spines are intermingled with the basidia. |
