Overview | |
Sporocarps solitary or rarely in clusters of 2 or 3, 0.2-0.8 mm tall. Hypothallus not apparent. Stalk black, stuffed with granular matter, 0.1-0.7 mm long. Sporotheca usually globose, chestnut-brown or ochraceous-buff, 0.1-0.5 mm diam. Peridium cartilaginous, opaque, somewhat thickened with granular matter, papillose to almost smooth within. Dehiscence usually by polygonal areolae, sometimes irregular below then leaving a flat, persistent base to which the capillitium remains attached. Capillitium abundant, slightly elastic, branched and anastomosed to form a flexuose network of tubular, densely-tangled threads arising from the peridium and base, 2-2.5 µm diam., with few to many, often short, rounded, free ends, swellings absent, sometimes constricted at irregular intervals, marked with numerous, scattered pits and spines, spines straight, short, usually less than the width of a thread, 0.5-2 µm diam. rarely up to 4 µm long. Spore-mass bright yellow. Spores pale yellow, (8-)9-10 µm diam., uniformly verruculose.
