Sporocarps stipitate, up to 1 mm high, gregarious, globose and dark brown. Stalk cylindrical, approximately 0.5 mm

high, more widened at the base where reddish brown fibers are observed. Capillitium rigid, open, formed by few branches 4–5 μm thick, up to 10 μm wide at its base, which initiates at the apex of the columella and ending dividing dichotomously. Spores globose to subglobose, 9.2–11.4 (–12) × 9.2–11.2 (–12) μm, av. 10.3 × 10.2 μm, Q av = 1.01 (n = 25), purple, faintly spiny. Under SEM the spore ornamentation is formed by small baculae (figs. 6a–j).
