Overview | |
Sporocarps widely scattered, 0.2-0.7 mm tall. Sporotheca globose, dark brown, 0.05-0.14 mm diam. Stalk slender, translucent, hollow, often yellow at the base, brown above, continuing into the sporotheca as a columella. Peridium very thin, hyaline, early evanescent, usually leaving a collar about the stalk apex. Columella rounded at the end in forms which lack capillitium, or branching and giving rise to short protuberances or to longer, branching capillitial strands which are attenuated peripherally. Spore-mass dark brown. Spores brown, violaceous or lilaceous, globose, marked with warts which are irregular in size and often in distribution, 7-9 µm diam.
