On decaying ground wood, with sessile sporocarps, forming crowded colonies of numerous specimens, with subglobose sporothecae, 0.5 to 1 mm in diameter, orange-yellow, with a fugacious peridium persistent only at the base, and with irregular apical dehiscence.

Capillitium bright yellow under the microscope, with elaters 3 to 6 µm wide, with 3 to 4 spinose spiral bands, and with short free tips 8 to 10 µm long.

Spores subglobose, thin-walled, 9.5 to 11 µm long by 9 to 10.5 µm wide, ornamented with warts that merge into ridges to form a faint reticulum.
