description
The dark brown fruiting bodies are pseudo-ethers with pendulous stems . The peridium, which is declining on the top but survives at the base in the form of a shell, is iridescent in color.

The spores aggregated to three to six, rarely up to ten, have a diameter of 10 to 12 micrometers.
