Aethalia dispersed or in groups, conical or ovoid, 1.5-3 mm tall and 0.8-1.5 mm diam., beige, but darker above due to irregular, dark, ± branched scales which form a broken reticulum. Hypothallus inconspicuous. Cortex sturdy, the middle layer consisting of tubules, dehiscing irregularly at the apex, rather persistent. Pseudocapillitium consisting of irregularly shaped tubules 3-10 µm diam., smooth or minutely warted. Spore-mass bright pink, later yellowish-grey. Spores almost colourless, 5-7 µm diam., covered with a fine reticulum of narrow ridges interrupted at the germination area. An inconspicuous species appearing on rotten wood especially of deciduous trees. Distinguished by its subconical aethalia.
