Short description Morphology
Thallus intertwined green to greenish brown, forming a spongy mass. Branches cylindrical, 3 to 7 mm in diameter, attached to one another at any point by small cushion-like rhizoidal structures. Branching dichotomous to subdichotomous, forming angles of more than 45° but less than 90°. Filaments of the medulla 42 to 69 μm wide, separated from the utricles by deep constrictions. Utricles club-shaped, cone-shaped, or cylindrical, slightly tapering towards the base with rounded tips; some utricles with slight swelling just below the apex; utricles 200 to 460 μm in diameter at the thickest portion, and 800 to 1 070 μm in length. Amorphous clumps up to 5 cm in diameter (Ref. 80758).
Used as food by humans; commonly sold fresh in the markets in Northern Luzon, Philippines (Ref. 80758). Maximum depth from Ref. 102150.
