Description
Mitra medium-sized, up to 12 cm high and 4 cm broad, hollow, initially narrowly conical, occassionally subglobose or ovoid, with the apex generally acuminate. Surface internally furfuraceous. Primary ribs lontigudinally, rather thick, moderately distant, slightly sinuous, strontly anastomosing. Colour variable with age, generally concolorous with hymenium, initially whitish, finally turning ochre and tending to stain rust brown with age. Secondary ribs transversally oriented, not conspicuous and depressed, concolorous with alveoli, sometimes slightly blackening with age, sometimes leaving small aborted appendixes. Prmary alveoli broad, elongated, irregular, more or less angled, vertically aligned, bumpy at the bottom. Secondary alveoli not very deep, not very well defined, scarce. Hymenium variable in colour with age, initially blackish or greyish brown, contrasting with the whitish ribs in young ascomata, turning ochraceous and concolous with ribs with age. Stipe 2-5 × 1-2 cm, hollow, subcylindrical, broader at the base, twice as short as the mitra. Surface wrinkled, covered with a thin covering, greyish brown in young ascomata, disappearing with age, formed by small greyish brown granules, rather conspicuous with age, staining orangish red upon handling. Context elastic, whitish in the mitra, yellowish in the stipe. Smell weak. Macrochemical reactions not tested.
Ascospores 22-25 × 13-15 µm, Qm = 1,65, ellipsoid to ovoid, hyaline, thick-walled, longitudinally striate. Asci 8-spored, not amyloid, cylindrical, generally with uniseriate ascospores, 270-370 × 15-25 µm, with a somewhat broader base, aporhynchous. Paraphyses fascicled, sometimes formed at the base, generally lanceolate, up to 15 × 280 µm, with the terminal element longer, subcylindrical or fusiform with a generally obtuse apex. Acroparaphyses very abundant, fascicled, 40-200 × 7-20 µm, sometimes forked at the base. Pyramids composed of an epithelium of subglobose to ovoid sphaerocysts, 20-100 × 20-70 µm, of which subcylindrical hairs arise, 50-150 × 10-20 µm, generally fascicled, scarcely septate, (0-2 septa), with the terminal element subcylindrical with the apex broad and rounded.
