Plasmodium translucent white. Sporocarps scattered or in small groups, up to 9 mm tall, though smaller and always ± spherical in moist-chambers. Stalk usually at least 66% of the total height, black, consisting of netted fibres at least at the base. Columella reaching at least half way up the sporotheca but usually almost reaching the apex, where it merges into the capillitium. Capillitium forming a dense internal flexuose net with the main branches connected to the columella along its whole length, often forming a surface net in the basal part, around the top usually with loops and free ends. Spores lilac-brown, with a small, pale, rounded germination pore, verruculose, 7.5-9.0 µm diam ( http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?searc... )
