Peridium membranous, thick, firm, persistent, splitting irregularly, but persisting as a basal cup. Hypothallus well-developed, discoid, thin, transparent, often merging at the margins into adjacent hypothalli, reddish brown. Columella black, tapered upwards, c. 50% of the height of the sporotheca. Capillitium forming a network with abundant sharp, pointed, free ends, uniformly ferrugineous throughout, not hyaline at the apices, the threads of uniform thickness, c. 2 µm diam., typically not expanded in the axils.
