Fructification plasmodiocarpous, often covering several square centimeters, terete, branching freely and usually everywhere reticulate, rusty, tawny or bright yellow; peridium thin, transparent, with ir- regular, longitudinal dehiscence; hypothallus like peridium or a little darker, the margins between adjoining segments often separated by a black line; capillitium variable, a tangle of long yellow threads, sparingly branched, free everywhere except below, spinulose, the free tips spinose, acuminate, spiral ridges three or four, with traces of longitudinal strise; spore-mass golden yellow, spores beneath the lens pale yellow, globose, coarsely reticulate, 11—16 /x.
