features

The fructifications are rarely short, mostly sessile sporocarp or plasmodiocarp . The peridium is single, rarely double, the outer layer granular.

The capillary filaments are simple or branched, but never network-like. They are stable, thick-walled and massive (i.e. not hollow on the inside), narrow and usually measure less than 2 micrometers in diameter. At the base they are fused with the fructification and the peridia, on their surface they are smooth or sculptured with warts or spikes.

The spores are gray- pink or yellow as a mass, pale yellow, pale gray or even colorless in transmitted light .
