bathurstensis

Sexual morph: Entostroma prosenchymatous, poorly developed, dorsally limited by a black zone binding the fruiting areas. Ascomata 0.3-0.6 mm high, up to 0.8 mm diam., spherical to flattened, submerged in the wood. Necks up to 0.5 mm long, not raising the uniformly blackened wood surface, or occasionally weakly raised, then wood surface blackened only under one or a few ascomata. Ostiole poorly developed or conical, up to 300 μm high, (120)150-200 μm diam., not sulcate. Peridium enclosing fragments of crystals in the external layer, 35-50 μm wide or wider near the ostiolar canal. Paraphyses numerous, persistent. Asci 50-65(90) μm × 8-10 μm, clavate, pedicellate. Ascospores (6-)7-10(-12) × 2-2.8 μm olive-brown, allantoid, containing oil droplets and limited by a thin epispore. Asexual morph: Unidentified synnematal asexual morph on wood.
