A tiny ascomycete that forms dense clusters of yellow to orange-brown, globose perithecia, each only 0.2-0.4 mm across, on rotting wood and bark. The tops of the perithecia are often slightly dented. A hand lens is needed to see it, and the UK recording scheme flags it as needing close examination to identify.
Not edible; microscopic.
