Sexual morph: Ascomata solitary, superficial, globose to subglobose, ostiolate, papillate, black, carbonaceous. Pseudoparenchyma thin-walled of polygonal or rounded cells that fill the center of young ascocarps. Two layered peridium: outer layer formed by roundish cells; inner layer made by elongated cells. Paraphyses absent. Asci 8-spored, fusiform to ellipsoidal, unitunicate, early deliquescing. Ascospores fusiform, slender, hyaline, 7–11 septate, attenuate apices towards both ends, without polar spines; secondary appendages developed by the fragmentation of the exospore, peritrichous polar and equatorial around the central septum.
