Perithecia caespitosa in stromate erumpenti ad 1 cm. diam., globosa vel ovata 0 - 3-0 - 4mm. diam., tubereulata, aurantiaca vel testacea ; ostiolo papillato, pariete perithecii 120,u crasso, cellulis 10-15 x 12-221 µm parietibus densatis et tinctis. Asci parietibus tenuibus, clavati vel elliptiei 140-200 x 18-241cc, 4-8 sporis uniseriatis. Sporae ovatae vel obovatae, uniseptatae 22-38 x 10-16 µm striatae, pallide luteae.
The perithecia are similar to N. balsanae and are arranged on a large pulvinate stroma but the spores are much larger and are biseriately arranged at the apex of the clavate asci.

Asci clavate, 140–200 × 18–24 cm. Ascospores ovate to obovate, 1-septate, 22–38 × 10–16 μm, striate, light yellow. Conidia known in culture only.
