Overview
Plasmodium orange or greenish. Primarily short plasmodiocarpous, sometimes branching or annulate, merging into sessile, pulvinate or subglobose sporocarps, these rarely short-stipitate, orange, tawny or green. Peridium smooth, membranous, yellowish or smoky, dotted or netted with glossy, often anastomosed lime scales, especially above, often limeless at the base. Capillitium dense, composed of large, branching, orange, yellow or pallid lime-nodes connected by short, hyaline tubules, or the tubules lacking and then badhamioid or the nodes free. Spore-mass black. Spores pale to rather dark brown, slightly roughened to minutely warted, (8-)9-12(-13) µm diam.
