Overview | |
Sporocarps dispersed or tufted to gregarious, 1.5-3 mm tall, rounded at base and apex; dark brown. Hypothallus silvery, usually inconspicuous. Stalk black, 20-25% of the total height; opaque. Columella almost reaching to the apex and there merging into the capillitium. Capillitium lilac-brown; the internal net with many, large expansions, 3-4 meshes across the radius; the surface net almost complete, consisting of thin, ± sinuose threads forming angular meshes, mostly 6-25 µm diam. Spores lilac-brown, 10-11.5 µm diam. in the original diagnosis but (7-)8-9(-10) acc. to M+A; verruculose. The capillitium is thinner and much darker than that of S. gracilis and the spores are larger.
