Basionym Pseudobalsamia microspora Diehl & E.B. Lamb., Mycologia, 22 (5): 223 (1930).

Diagnosis Ascocarps cream-colored to reddish brown, subspherical to discoid, irregularly lobed, 0.5-3.0 c. in diameter infolded at a distinct base when formed on the surface of the substratum; surface convolute to cerebriform; context fleshy, of interwoven hyphae generally thick walled, outer cells disintegrating to form an indefinite cortex of false rind, surface minutely scabrous, interior composed of closely crowded venae internae (spore bearing folds) separated by venae externae (labyrinthine canals) filled with a loose weft of anastomosing hyphae, canals converging at one or more points, usually having a common opening to the exterior, sometimes opening to the surface at more than one point; paraphyses reduced to anastomosing hyphae 5-7 µ in diameter; asci fugaceous, irregularly arranged throughout the venae internae, short or long stipitate, ovate to subspherical, (p. sp.) 18-25 × 12-15 µ with 8 spores or less, irregularly arranged, stipe variable, 3-10 µ broad and 6-15 µ long; spores subspherical, hyaline, sulphur-colored in mass, 5-7 µ, chiefly 6 µ in diameter, usually with one large colorless oil drop; epispore smooth, colorless, less than 1 µ thick; hyphae within the venae externae 8 µ to 12 µ in diameter; chlamydospores occasionally within hyphae of the ascocarp, spherical, 13 µ in diameter, content golden-brown with epispore 2 µ thick, smooth to finely granular.
