Overview | |
Sporocarps scattered, stipitate or occasionally sessile on a constricted base, up to 0.5 mm tall. Stalk, when present, thick, furrowed, opaque, stuffed with refuse matter, dark or concolorous with the substrate, 100-350 µm long. Sporotheca globose or flattened, dark brown or black, 75-175(-300) µm diam. Peridium membranous, sometimes granular within, forming a distinct wall between stalk and sporotheca, wrinkled when dry and breaking up into irregular plates, the ridges marking the lines of dehiscence or, more often, thin, membranous and dehiscing irregularly. Spore-mass dark brown. Spores globose, or ± angular, thick-walled, yellowish or pale smoky brown, paler on one side, faintly spinulose or nearly smooth, (10-)11-13(-14) µm diam.
