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 p.

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 p long, 45 p broad.
