---PERIDIUM: persisting as a shallow calycus in mature fruiting bodies only, shining, plicate, smooth or nearly so.
---CAPILLITIUM: consisting of a network of threads 3 - 4 µm in diameter and marked with cogs and half-rings, firmly attached to the whole surface of the calyculus.
----SPORES: Red or reddish brown in mass, colourless by transmitted light, with a few scattered warts 6 - 8 µm in diameter.

Habitat:
Sporocarps erect, often in large colonies, deep red, fading to red-brown, crowded or gregarious, 1-2 mm total height. Sporothecae subglobose, ovoid or cylindrical, erect, 0.5-1 mm diam., expanding to 1(-2) x the original size. Stalk dark or red-brown, 0.5-1.5 mm long, cysts mostly 12-15 µm diam. Capillitium net rather dense, the tubules slender, 3-4 µm diam., usually with coarse half rings arranged in a spiral, elsewhere smooth or minutely warted or with fine subreticulate ridges. Calyculus plicate, usually rather coarsely papillate-reticulate, usually rather small and shallow, funnel-shaped. Spores 6-8 µm diam. minutely, pale-warted and with scattered larger wartlets
