Overview | |
Protolasmodium orange-yellow. Sporocarps scattered, sessile, subglobose or somewhat flattened, grey, deep reddish-brown or black while immature, 50-200 µm diam., often elongated and then up to 500 µm long, often deeply immersed in algae. Peridium pale yellowish-brown by TL, minutely punctate inside. Dehiscence usually circumscissile around the region where the peridium meets the surrounding algal layer. Spore-mass golden brown. Spores at first pale yellow-brown but becoming red-brown at maturity, smooth, globose and with a pale area showing as 40% or more of the circumference in optical section, (13-)15-17 µm diam. The protologue is here amended to include numerous further finds of material collected in the field on alga-covered bark of Sambucus nigra (Elder), often immersed in algae so that only the upper peridium is visible.
