Peridium membranous, firm, delicately embossed with concolorous tubercles, sometimes with amorphous particles from the substrate. Dehiscence longitudinal or forked, along the pale area, the halves spreading widely or breaking into lobes but without preformed platelets. Spore-mass yellow-brown. Spores clear yellow, thick-walled, minutely roughened, subglobose, 10-12 µm diam., or elliptical or ovate and then proportionately longer and narrower.
