"""Similar to Cyttaria hariotii, but distinguished by its intense orange colour, later ripening, and exclusive parasitism on Nothofagus pumilio branches...Stromata development. In late spring (October–November), primordia begin to appear. Spermogonia are distributed in the upper part; as the stromata grow, they become more spaced and irregularly distributed. When the stromata begin to mature (November–December), the apothecia open by rupture of the ectostroma, which is torn, forming the mouths of the apothecia; they constitute a margin that does not differ in colour from the hymenium. The endostroma is deep orange and gelatinous...
Intermediate to mature stages: the stromata become whitish, pale orange, with a fleshy, gelatinous appearance, and immature apothecia can be seen forming as domes on the surface of the stromata separated from each other; a sagittal section of the stromata then shows the apothecia immediately below the ectostroma, with a deep orange hymenium. The young apothecium is surrounded by an area of uniform intense orange colour of gelatinous fleshy consistency, which corresponds to the interstitial pseudotissue and
by veins; a white and corky columella begins to form in the central area. Mature Stromata: subglobose, somewhat flattened 35.6–45 mm long×29–37 mm in diam., ending in a conical base that is devoid of apothecia; colour 6.25 YR 7/1; the latter are found in large numbers on the upper surface of the stromata and are fairly contiguous, separated by shallow rounded valleculae, uniformly pale to intense orange when fresh throughout the stromata, up to the base. Intense orange-ferruginous when dry; consistency fleshy-gelatinous when fresh, becoming horny when dry, with a whitish central columella, corky in appearance, well demarcated when dry, containing mucilage. Ectostroma is separable from endostroma, has uniform thickness, and covers the entire stromata. It presents a dry appearance, uniform orange colour and is crossed by the hyphae of the columella. Endostroma consists of an interstitial, intense orange pseudotissue composed of hyphae embedded in a gelatinous matrix with an intricate texture and whitish veins radiating from the central corky columella. When dry, these veins branch towards the apothecia. The columella is fibrous and white when dry, consisting of hyphae that, when fresh, resemble an intense orange gel matrix. Apothecia caliciform, with a deep orange hymenium, formed within the endostromata, separated from each other, with a more or less circular margin, of a uniform deep orange colour. Diameter 4.5×6 mm. Ascospores subglobose to globose, 11.8±1.61×11.11±1.62 μm (Q=1.06±0.21). """
