In the second photo the inset photos show two microscopic organs that have been stained with a red dye to better show them. In the upper right corner you see a spore-producing basidium, with one almost spherical spore still attached to one of the prongs at the apex of the basidium. The other inset shows an organ technically called a cystidium. The cystidia in this species are long and tubular, with cross walls and at each cross-wall there is a ‘bump’. The arrow points to one such ‘bump’ and cross-wall (the cross-wall having stained darker red). Further to the right you see another darker red cross-wall but here the ‘bump’ is not as distinct. Ceraceomcyes eludens differs from other species of the genus by its broadly ellipsoid to almost spherical spores and by the nature of its cystidia . The third photo shows part of a specimen after it has dried.
