(K+ ?red), finally sessile and persistently flat, with a thin margin slightly paler than the disc, a hyaline hypothecium, a granular, yellow epihymenium, hardly conglutinated paraphyses, 8-spored asci, and simple ascospores (to c. 20 µm long); only known from the type locality in the Western Alps (Italy), on schist.
