Licea denudescens
Overview
Sporocarps sessile, 0.2-0.4 mm diam., globose to hemispheric or rarely somewhat elongate, dull black, or smooth and glossy brown when the outer peridial layer has eroded. Peridium firm, consisting of two closely adhering layers, the inner layer membranous, thin, translucent, pale olivaceous brown, prominently marked inside with outgrowths varying from papillae to somewhat irregular excrescences commonly forming an irregular, reticulate pattern, the outer layer black and opaque from refuse material, firm and brittle when dry, sometimes swelling when wet to a thick, generally hyaline, gelatinous layer. Dehiscence irregular. Spore-mass glossy brown. Spores pale olivaceous brown, globose or ovoid, smooth, with a sharply-defined, colourless germination area, 8.5-11 µm diam.
