Looks like a mere bloom, so that it might easily escape notice. The spores
are borne on little wart-like projections on the upper portion of the branches.

White, with a pale ochraceous tinge, forming dense woolly

There are sometimes three or four, but more commonly one or two spores
at the tips of the branches, each attached to a short spicule. We were at
hrst disposed to regard this as the type of a new genus under the name of
tlinotrwhum, but, on more mature consideration, prefer including it here.
