shape: broadly clavate to obovoid, consisting of two stacked cells; the upper cell is rounded and the lower cell tapers toward the base. symmetry: bilateral along the longitudinal axis. size estimate: 41.7 × 38.6 µm. wall structure: thick, solid outer wall. edge definition: sharp, distinct, thick outer contour. surface texture: smooth. internal contents: dense, obscured by strong pigmentation. color and staining: dark reddish-brown to golden-brown (naturally heavily pigmented / dematiaceous). septation or chains: a single distinct transverse septum divides the spore into two cells. other notable features: base is tapered, suggesting a broken attachment point (pedicel)
