Overview | |
Plasmodium greenish yellow prior to fruiting. Hypothallus diffuse. Plasmodiocarpous, forming lines, rings, or a simple network, 0.2-0.4 mm wide, sometimes fusing laterally to form a broad fruiting surface, often interspersed with globose sporocarps, dull yellow or ochraceous, rarely bright yellow, sessile. Peridium single, thin, of closely encrusted lime globules, without calcareous scales, fragile, membranous, persistent. Capillitium dense, calcareous, the nodes numerous, large, angular, branching, pale yellow or whitish, connected by short, hyaline threads or broad limy strands and then almost badhamioid. Spore-mass dull black. Spores dark brown, verruculose, with a paler and smoother area on one side, 10-13 µm diam.
