Overview
Plasmodium translucent white. Sporocarps grouped or scattered, 1-3.5 mm tall, erect. Sporothecae short-cylindrical, ovoid or almost spherical, rounded at the apex and at the base. Stalk 50-66% of the total height. Columella merging into the capillitium just below the apex. Capillitium dark, the primary branches typically horizontal, attenuate outwards but remaining rather stout, often forming a rather open internal net, ± interconnected peripherally and looped and often forming a surface net, with many pointed free ends which, in the typical forms which lack a peripheral net, point outwards. Spores pale grey-brown or lilac-brown, verruculose, without a germination pore, 7-9(-11) µm diam.
