It was isolated in its yeast state from soil in Bhutan.

The cell is encapsulated with an extended ovoid shape.

When the cell buds, it creates birth scars, and the neck of the new yeast fits inside of the bud scar neck.

The new cell typically only buds from the birth scar present from where it budded off the parent cell.

One thing of note with N. bhutanensis is that mitosis is not intranuclear.
