Sporocarpous or plasmodiocarpous, gregarious or closely crowded, sessile or with weak, procumbent, strand-like stalks. Sporothecae globose or depressed-globose, 0.5-1 mm diam., yellow, greenish yellow or dull green, or iridescent in forms with scanty lime in the outer peridium. Peridium double, the hyaline iridescent inner layer tending to be more persistent than the fragile, opaque, somewhat rugose, pigmented outer layer. Capillitium yellow or dull orange to dingy white, delicate, somewhat thickened at the nodes and then somewhat physaroid. Spores in compact clusters of (4-)6-12(-20), violaceous brown, coarsely warted on the exposed area, more finely warted elsewhere, pyriform, 12-14 x 11-13 µm.
