Description:
Basidiomata enclosed, partially to entirely submerged in the substrate, forming an “egg” stage, whitish to pinkish or purplish in coloration, measuring 15–26 × 6–15 mm; peridium enclosing a gelatinous layer surrounding the developing receptacle. Mature basidiomata. Receptacle phalloid, spike-like, 65–100 mm tall and up to 15 mm wide, broadened at the base and attenuating toward the apex, with the apical portion slightly swollen, tapering more gracefully distally, frequently somewhat curved. Stipe pale whitish to pinkish, with remnants of the volva adhering at the base. Upper portion (pileus/cap) distinctly delimited from the stipe, pinkish in the middle, becoming reddish-rose to bright red at the apex; clear and abrupt demarcation between the vividly red apical region and the paler (white to pinkish) stipe. Sporulation. When dried sporophores were rehydrated in water, they released basidiospores, imparting a brownish coloration to the suspension. Basidiospores. 4–6 × 2–3 μm, ellipsoid to oblong, smooth-walled, hyaline to pale brown, unicellular. Hyphal system dimitic, generative hyphae 2.5–7.5 µm wide, hyaline to yellow, non-septate, branch, skeletal hyphae 2.5–7.5 μm, wide, brown to dark brown, septate, branch.
