Stipes cylindrical, fleshy, solid, 4 mm long, 0.4 mm thick. Hyphae of the upper surface irregularly joined, thin, 2.5-3 mm thick, multiseptate, verrucose. Fertile parts disc-shaped, 2 x 0.8 mm, yellowish, upper surface slightly convex. Perithecia completely immersed, upright, ovoid to obclavate or naviculate, sometimes curved, 530-550 x 180-190 µm. Asci 400-450 x 5-6 µm, cap 4-4.5 µm in diam. Ascospores forming segments, remain whole after discharge. In culture the colonies on PDA are relatively fast-growing, attaining a diam. of 1 cm in 14 d at 20°C. The mycelia are whitish and turn the agar red with age.
