Comatricha alta

Peridium evanescent.

Columella cylindrical, reaching almost 2/3 of the sporotheca, ending abruptly with a distinctly widened apex.

Capillitium very abundant, sinuous, arising along the entire columella from which it readily detaches, composed of forked, sparingly anastomosed dark brown threads, without primary branches, with triangular expansions and few free ends.

Spores globose, pale brown under the microscope, ornamented with small, evenly distributed warts.
