This species is characterized by fructification becoming sep- 
arable from substratum, by dry and loosely interwoven struc- 
ture, by inflated or vesicular hyphal organs, and by smaller 
spores than any of the preceding species. The dry rot caused 
in the pine wood is of the brown, brittle type. The vesicular 
organs do not appear to be ehlamydospores.
