Spores produced singly at tips of stalks; Non-pigmented. Stalks slender, 19.5-62.5 µm long, base broadened or inverted cup-shaped, 2.7-4.5 µm in diam., tapering to 0.6-1.4 µm at apex. Spores elongate, typically somewhat irregular and peanut shaped, 8.8-9.3 x 20-46 µm, sometimes adhering in groups of 2-4. Amoebae with filose subpseudopodia and single distinct nucleus and contractile vacuole, fan-shaped and with scalloped, hyaline anterior border when migrating across agar surface. Microcysts spherical, thin-walled, 10-2.8 µm diam.
