Clavarioid fungi often forming a lichenised association with the green alga . Fruiting bodies to 4 cm tall and to 2 mm thick, simple or sparingly branched, white, pinkish, yellowish-ochre or orange, tough when wet, brittle when dry. Contextual hyphae parallel, tightly packed towards base of fruiting body, loosely arranged towards apex, thin or very slightly thick-walled, branched, anastomosing, clamped or unclamped, occasionally adglutinated, little inflated. Subhymenial hyphae parallel with contextual hyphae, thin-walled, relatively straight, producing basidia as side branches. Basidia short, ± stout, weakly sterigmate. Basidiospores ovoid or ellipsoid to elongate-ovoid or elongate-ellipsoid, thin-walled, aguttulate to multiguttulate or granular, smooth, white in prints.
