Overview
Plasmodium pale yellow at maturity. Hypothallus not apparent. Sporocarps crowded or rarely scattered. sessile. Sporothecae markedly depressed to pulvinate, 0.5-1.5 mm diam., yellowish-, reddish- or purplish- brown and usually with a pale border. Peridium double, the outer layer and including the floor of the sporotheca cartilaginous, firm, opaque, thickened with granular matter, the inner layer translucent, pale yellow, smooth, membranous, shining. Dehiscence circumscissile by means of a flattened, deciduous lid. Capillitium usually abundant, consisting of sparingly branched, coiled, threads, (1.5-)2-2.5(-3) µm diam., sometimes with intercalary swellings or rarely with free ends, minutely warted or spinulose or more often with close-set constrictions at regular intervals, appearing annulate in surface view and septate in optical section. Spore-mass bright golden yellow. Spores pale yellow, globose, spinulose, 9-11 µm diam.
