Overview | |
Sporocarps gregarious or scattered, often forming extensive fruitings, stipitate or sessile on a restricted base, total height 1-2 mm. Sporothecae obovoid, 0.5-0.7 mm diam., greyish or purplish brown. Peridium thin, brittle, paler and somewhat calcareous above, more persistent and darker below where it is often clearly delimited as a cup, merging into the stalk. Stalk erect, usually c. half the total height, sometimes extending as a columella into the sporotheca for up to two-thirds of its height, or replaced by a pseudocolumella. Capillitium dense, white or pale brown, radiating from the columella when one is present. Hypothallus dark, thin, confluent or netted. Spore-mass dark brown. Spores dark violet or purple-brown, moderately to strongly warted, mostly 13-17 µm diam. Plasmodium yellow.
