Overview
Sporocarpous or pseudoaethaliate, sessile or stalked. Sporothecae subglobose, 0.3-0.5 mm diam., grouped in small, heaped clusters, the clusters sometimes stalked, sometimes united into pseudoaethalia up to 2 mm diam., with shining, iridescent, membranous walls. Capillitium of smooth, coiled, slender, compressed, pale red threads, 1.5-2 µm diam., sparingly branched and with a few bulbous free ends, each thread bordered on one side by a low ridge or wing. Spore-mass dull red. Spores pale red, 10-11 µm diam., adhering in clusters of 8-14, more distinctly warted on the exposed surfaces.
