Peridium yellowish in the basal part, composed of two layers: a cartilaginous outer layer and a membranous inner layer, encrusted with white calcareous granules and yellow crystalline spheres.

Capillitium formed by large hyaline nodes connected by slender threads, aggregating in the center of the sporotheca to form a pseudocolumella.

Spores spherical, pale brown under the microscope, with small warts distributed across the surface.
