Unfortunately all the spores on this material appear to be immature. 

 However, the species is well characterized by the small globose hyphopodia. 



This Asterina is associated with, or parasitized by, a fungus having a 

 delicate hyaline mycelium and 4-celled spores; the two middle cells are 

 brown and much larger than the end cells which are hyaline. The spores 

 are slightly curved and about 30 x 12-14 m.

This has previously been collected on Palawan Island. It is a very 

 characteristic species with strongly nodulose radiating mycelium. The 

 asci are 8-spored, 70-75 m long, 45 ^ broad.
