The fruit-bodies are of very various shapes, showing a differentiation into an outer peridium and an inner spore-bearing mass, the gleba.

He does not regard them as genuine asci, but as corresponding more to the peridium of the Gasteromycete� and Myxomycete�.

"Whether the thread is hollow or solid, simple or branched, free or connected with the peridium or a columella,—these are entirely secondary conditions, depending on the extent and form of the vacuoles."

Hymenium enclosed in a peridium, ruptured when mature Gasteromycetes.

The sporangia is very similar to that of S. fusca, cylindrical, peridium fugacious, exposing the reticulate capillitium, but instead of being dark-brown it is a yellowish or rusty-brown color.
