Lasiobolus  

Anamorph: not known.
Teleomorph: stromata absent. Ascomata apothecia,  small, often gregarious, turbinate to funnel-shaped, cupulate or pulvinate, sessile, setose. Disc flat to strongly convex, appearing rough due to protruding asci, yellowish to orange, red or whitish. Setae developing from the outer wall, often from the basal region, thick-walled, pointed, sometimes swollen at the base, aseptate or rarely septate near the base, hyaline and refractive, short or long. Outer wall dextrinoid, cyanophilic, thicker towards the base, composed of angular or lobed cells. Internal tissues composed of thin-walled hyaline hyphal or angular cells. Hymenium with one or many asci. Interascal tissue of simple or branched septate filiform paraphyses, usually inflated but not curved at the apex, containing pigmented granules. Asci cylindrical to broadly clavate, rarely pyriform, usually distinctly stalked, operculate, not staining in iodine, eight- to many-spored. Ascospores uniseriate to biseriate, narrowly to broadly ellipsoidal, smooth-walled, hyaline to yellowish, without oil droplets, with deBary bubbles, with a delicate outer sheath that sometimes peels off and becomes visible in heated cotton blue/lactic acid.
