Overview | |
Plasmodium white. Pseudoaethalium sessile on a thin hypothallus, 8-25 mm diam., the upper surface areolate with conspicuous ridges, and with flakes of adhering peridium. Sporothecae subcylindrical, confluent throughout, pale grey-brown, up to 6 mm high and 0.5 mm diam., blunt at the apices. Peridial flakes, irregular, present within the pseudo-aethalium and at the bases of the outer sporothecae, silvery shiny, very pale ochraceous by TL, showing a curious structure of thin areolae ringed in by thickened margins. Columellae usually absent, when present irregular, dark brown, opaque. Capillitium pale brown, anastomosed and forming an irregular net of rather small meshes, mostly 20-50 µm diam., the joints with membranous expansions, some branches also with ± nodular swellings in the straight parts, the ultimate branches free or attached to the peridial flakes. Spore-mass grey. Spores nearly colourless, 6.3-8.5 µm diam., faintly and minutely spinulose.
