A small white coral‑like fungus forming upright branching structures on leaf litter. Basidiome brittle, white, arising from a thin resupinate base. Hymenial surface covering the entire coral structure. Likely belonging to the odontioid–coralloid Trechispora complex. Formerly placed under Trechispora pallescens, now treated as an undescribed species pending microscopic and molecular study.
Basidiome: coralloid, forming dense clusters of upright, repeatedly branched structures arising from a thin, inconspicuous resupinate base. Individual tufts 1–3 cm tall, composed of irregularly cylindrical to flattened branches that divide dichotomously or irregularly. Tips acute to slightly lobed, sometimes translucent. Overall texture brittle, easily fragmenting when handled.
Hymenial surface: Hymenium covering the entire outer surface of the coral structure, including branches and tips. Surface smooth to finely granular, lacking discrete teeth. Colour white to cream, remaining pale with age.
Subiculum: Thin, effused, white, tightly adherent to leaf litter and humus. Often barely visible beneath the coralloid tufts.
Context: White, fragile, composed of loosely interwoven hyphae.
Odour/tast: Not distinctive.
