Sporocarps sessile, subglobose, obovoid or erect-cylindric, 0.2-0.4 mm diam., 0.3-1 mm tall, crowded in clusters on a shining hypothallus, not superimposed, but often merged below so that the erect portions become lobes of the basal mass, sometimes united into a pseudoaethalium, clay coloured or tawny to snuff brown. Peridium thin, covered with minute calcareous scales. Columella absent. Capillitium lax, sometimes scanty, the nodes small, often fusiform, yellowish or brownish, sometimes confluent. Spore-mass dull, dark lilaceous. Spores pale violet, almost smooth or bearing scattered clusters of minute warts, 6-8 µm diam. Plasmodium greyish yellow.
