Overview | |
Sporocarps 70-120 µm tall. Sporotheca sessile on a slightly constricted base, ± globose, but appearing ± conical due to an apical deposit of gelatinous refuse material, light brown to nearly black, with the lateral wall usually shiny or ± iridescent, 55-90 µm diam. Peridium membranous, thin, translucent, pale olivaceous brown, minutely and closely papillose on the inner surface, laterally with scanty deposits of refuse matter, thickened at the base with deposits of refuse. Dehiscence by rupture of the lateral wall, the basal part persisting as a shallow cup. Spore-mass dark brown to almost black. Spores 9.5-11(-13) µm diam., olivaceous brown, globose, smooth, with a thin, pale area of dehiscence.
