Comments
From the protologe by Perry & Pfister: "Chaetothiersia vernalis is characterized by the following combination of features: smooth, eguttulate, ellipsoid ascospores, brown, non-rooting, stiff superficial excipular and marginal hairs with obtuse apices; a dense medullary excipulum composed of textura intricata; a very thin ectal excipulum of globose to angular-globose cells; medium to rather large apothecia (relative to other members of Pyronemataceae); and growth on wood and woody debris associated with moisture produced by the Spring snowmelt in the High Sierra Nevada."
