Sporocarps sessile or short stalked sporangia, the stalks white, furrowed, supported on small white, circular hypothalli. Stalks, when present, up to 0.4 mm tall by 0.1 mm  ∅ . Columella white, domed, filled with lime. Sporangia apparently spherical or pulvinate but actually deeply umbilicate below; to 0.8 mm  ∅.  Peridium encrusted with stellate lime crystals, either as a loose powdery layer, or as smooth folded plates. In the absence of lime the peridium may appear transparent or faintly iridescent.

Capillitium consisting of fine dark or hyaline threads, usually straight but sometimes with occasional spiral twists, with occasional swellings. Spore mass brown, spores grey-brown by transmitted light, finely warted, with a line around the spore like an equator, making them reminiscent of the planet Jupiter. 8 - 11µm  ∅.
