Primarily plasmodiocarpous, terete, or slightly compressed laterally and often with many globose to pulvinate sporocarps intermingled with the branched and netted plasmodiocarps, 0.4-0.6 mm diam., bright ochraceous yellow to orange or orange-brown, rarely dull grey, the lower portion often nearly limeless. Peridium double, the outer layer limy, rugulose, usually forming a continuous crust above but often scantier and broken into flakes below, the inner layer closely appressed, delicate, membranous, hyaline, dehiscing in the plasmodiocarpous forms by a longitudinal fissure. Capillitium well-developed, persistent, the nodes pallid to yellow, mostly large, angular, the connecting nodes hyaline or yellowish, branched. Spore-mass black. Spores pale violaceous brown, minutely punctate, 8-10 µm diam. Plasmodium unknown.
