Overview | |
Myxocarps scattered to gregarious, sessile on a narrow base, 0.3-0.6 mm diam. Sporocarps globose, plasmodiocarps up to 3 mm long, usually unbranched, often arcuate, pale tan to brown. Hypothallus inconspicuous. Peridium distinctly double, the outer layer calcareous with a smooth to slightly roughened, pigmented outer surface, the inner surface bright white, the inner layer thin, membranous, hyaline, iridescent and often lightly dusted with lime. Dehiscence of the outer layer along pale, raised, preformed lines into angular lobes, the lobes reflexing in a ± stellate manner, the inner layer dehiscing irregularly in sporocarps, along a faint apical longitudinal line in plasmodiocarps. Columella lacking. Capillitium a dense network of hyaline tubules and rounded, occasionally branching, white lime nodes, rarely the larger plasmodiocarps with a white pseudocolumella. Spore-mass dark brown. Spores violet brown, verruculose, 7-9 µm diam.
