Overview | |
Sporocarps 150-250 µm tall. Stalk 110-200 µm long, tapered, the lower part filled with granular matter, 1-3 µm diam. at the apex, where it often projects into the spore-like body for 1-4 µm or, more rarely, lies between 2-3 spores which are then fused to the peridial collar at the stalk apex. Sporotheca 40-65 µm diam., pink when fresh. Spore-like body 10-12 µm diam. Peridium persisting as a collar 6-12 µm diam., often fused to the spore-like structure at the stalk apex. Spore-mass pink. Spores pink to hyaline, globose, 10-12 µm diam., minutely roughened, the wall of nearly uniform thickness throughout.
