| Allied to scleroderma and distinguished by the cavities of the gleba containing distinct peridioles. |
| Its gleba, with numerous, very intensely branched white veins, varies from a milky colour to an intense pink. |
| The pileus is conical in shape, and after the disappearance of the gleba the surface of the pileus is merely granular. |
| The microscope shows that the gleba is composed of a great number of spores mixed with simple or branched threads. |
| The gleba is composed of semi-persistent cells, plainly seen with a glass or even with the naked eye. |
| The peridium is very large, breaking away in fragments when ripe and exposing the gleba. |
