Sori (see Fineran, 1971: 496, fig. 2) as root galls, simple, digitate or much branching, ca. 1-2 ´ 3-10 mm, filled with intracellularly developing spores. Spores (Figs. 14, 15) globose or subglobose, solitary, rarely in pairs, sometimes with a short hyphal appendage, 10-16 ´ 10-16 (-17) µm, subhyaline to yellow; wall two-layered, inner layer equal, c. 0.8 µm thick, outer layer equal or unequal, very variable in thickness, usually 1-2 (-2.5) µm thick, in some spores apparently absent, in others 2.5-5 µm wide, smooth or slightly undulate, in SEM smooth to irregularly roughened.
Sori gallae radicis, simplices, digitati vel multiramosi, cca. 1-2 ´ 3-10 mm, sporis intracellulariter evolutis impleti. Sporae globosae vel subglobosae, solitariae, raro binae, aliquando appendage brevi, hyphali, 10-16 ´ 10-16 (-17) µm, subhyalinae usque flavae; pariete bistratoso, strato interno aequali, cca. 0,8 µm crasso, strato externo aequali vel non aequali, crassitudine valde vario, plerumque 1-2 (-2,5) µm crasso, in sporis nonnullis conspicue absenni, in aliis 2,5-5 µm crasso, levi vel parum undulato, sub SEM levi usque irregulariter scabroso.
Etymology: casparyanella, diminutive of casparyana, allusion to the much smaller spores of this species, than those of Entorrhiza casparyana.
