shape: curved, fusiform to broadly ellipsoidal. symmetry: bilateral (asymmetrical due to curvature). size estimate: 63.9 × 55.5 µm (bounding box artificially inflated by adjacent fiber/debris). wall structure: thick-walled with prominent, dark transverse septal bands. edge definition: sharp, distinct, thick outer contour. surface texture: smooth. internal contents: dense, obscured by strong pigmentation. color and staining: naturally pigmented dark reddish-brown (dematiaceous). septation or chains: 4 distinct transverse septa dividing the spore into 5 cells. other notable features: the central cell is slightly enlarged, creating a distinct bend in the spore; positioned next to an unrelated fiber
