Overview | |
Primarily plasmodiocarpous but often broken into sporocarps, strongly laterally compressed, bright yellow-brown. Peridium double, the outer layer smooth, pale yellow within, except at the white dehiscent margin, composed of densely compressed globose, yellow lime globules 1-2 µm diam., the closely attached inner membrane transparent, iridescent, colourless but for adhering globules of the outer layer, tending to separate from outer layer at dehiscence. Dehiscence by a preformed fissure along the outer margin. Capillitium dense, the nodes large, pale yellow, angular, often spike-like, attached to base or peridium, massed with others into irregular transverse bands which tend to separate the sporotheca into compartments, the tubules pale yellow, non-calcareous. Spore-mass black. Spores dark purplish brown, strongly reticulate, 9-11 µm diam. Plasmodium bright yellow or yellowish orange.
