Sporocarps typically 2-spored, occasionally 3 or 4-spored, 20-42 µm tall; stalk composed of two distinctly different parts, the lower segment relatively short and spike-like with discoid base, the upper segment longer, curved, and somewhat inflated; spores smooth-walled, hemispherical to subglobose, 7.2-12 µm broad, each spore at germination producing one or two flagellate cells or a single amoeboid cell; trophic stage consisting of uninucleate to plurinucleate amoeboid protoplasts; cysts round to ovate or irregular in outline, uninucleate to plurinucleate, 7.2-47 x 7.2-61 µm.
