 Description: Sporocarps brown or yellow brown, 200-250 × 450-550 μm, subglobose or pulvinate, with or without multihyphal stipes, usually flattened at base; chlamydospores arranged radially in a hemispherical layer, ellipsoid, ovoid, triangular, or oblong ellipsoid to clavate, yellow brown, (35-) 45-65 (-70) × 50-80 (-90) μm; spore wall 1.5-2.5 μm and frequently thicked at base, up to 6 μm; subtending hypha long, single, occasionally two, 5-6 μm at attachment, then tapered to 7.5 μm broad; plexal hyphae broad, 6-12.5 μm; peridial hypha, thick-walled, 2.5-5 μm, sometimes with sparse septum.

 Note: Sporocarps collected in this study were seldom formed in rows. They exist as a thin layer, or single fruit body on soil, in agreement with the description of Jao et al. (1992). Sporophores produced from the bases of attached hyphae were very common; however, the septum below the spore base was not formed frequently as described by Almeida and Schenck (1990).
