Flat yellow stroma, 1 x 1 mm to 7 x 3 cm on bark or bare wood, especially where Exidia fruits.

Ascospores disarticulate to form 2 inequal part spores, subglobose to ellipsoid (4.2) 5.2 6.5 (7.5) (4.2) 5.2 7.0 (8.2) µm, and ellipsoidal to subcylindric (4.5) 5.5 7 (8.5) (2.7) 4 5 (6.5) µm, hyaline, punctate, inamyloid.

Diagnostic macroscopic feature

Stroma looks like yellow smear on down wood because the host is dried down to apparently absent
