Overview
Sporocarps 150-280 µm tall. Stalk black, furrowed, somewhat irregular, with abundant included deposits of dark brown refuse matter, 34-60(-100) µm diam., 70-170 µm long. Sporotheca globose, slightly depressed, brown to dark brown above, brownish and glossy laterally, 84-160 µm diam. Peridium membranous, forming a distinct boundary with the stalk, pale olivaceous brown by TL, minutely papillose on the inner surface, with an even deposit of granular refuse matter on the upper surface of the sporotheca, the deposits thinning towards the periphery and scanty to absent on the side-walls. Dehiscence by an equatorial circumscissile fissure, the basal portion persisting as a moderately deep cup. Spore-mass golden brown. Spores pale brownish yellow, globose, minutely roughened, with a thinner, paler area, 11.5-13 µm diam.
