shape: ellipsoidal to slightly cylindrical, with a gentle asymmetrical curve. symmetry: bilateral along the longitudinal axis, slightly asymmetrical. size estimate: 59.9 × 44.0 µm (measured). wall structure: thick outer wall with prominent, dark transverse septa. edge definition: sharp and distinct. surface texture: smooth. internal contents: dense, obscured by strong natural pigmentation. color and staining: naturally pigmented, dark reddish-brown to golden-brown (dematiaceous). septation or chains: 3 distinct transverse septa dividing the spore into 4 discrete cells; the central cells appear slightly darker and one is slightly enlarged. other notable features: rounded ends; characteristic 'bent knee' appearance due to asymmetrical central cell enlargement
