Forming an orbicular spot of a sienna brown, preserving constantly a definite
outline. This spot separates readily from the subjacent pulp, in consequence
ot a copious crop of mycelium, the threads of which form the radii of
a circle, ih e surface is rough with little raised orbicular reddish perithecia
a rra n p d oonoentrioally ; spores varying from '0008 to ’0065 in. ('02 to -15
m.m.) In age the perithecia fall away, leaving a little aperture, the border
of which IS often stained black.
