On decayed wood. Jedburgh, A. Jerdon, Esq. 



About half a line across ; at first perfectly globose, often col- 

 lapsed in the centre, but gradually opening and exposing the 

 soft, pallid, sometimes straw-coloured hymenium. Asci oblong; 

 sporidia very long and slender, filiform, flexuous, with a row of 

 globular nuclei, at length repeatedly septate.

The stem is mostly curved, distinctly cellular. Asci clavate; 

 spores minute, subglobose. Very minute, but a pretty object 

 under the microscope.
