Description

Clathroporina wainiana has a greenish-brown thallus with coarse warty protuberances, and pseudostromata–stroma in which fungal cells and remnants of host tissue are mixed. Each of these structures has a single black-walled pseudothecium. The asci produce two colourless ascospores, each measuring 150–220 by 40–55 μm.[3]
