Description: |
Thallus with slender stipe, withis-grey or grey-green, merging into a flattened, funnel-shaped cap at the top; this is divided into 20-80 radial rays, navelled, and annulated around navel and below the cap. During growth, delicate filamentous, dorking branchlets arise from the uppermost ring and the stipe. These are discared soon and are therefore lacking in the mature thallus. Only basal parts perennial, plants with fully developed caps between May and August in the Mediterranean Braune & Guiry, 2011).. |
