Brownish-pink fruiting bodies with a jelly-like texture. In the var. pura form of the species, they are initially rounded and then become spinning-top shaped, eventually with a concave upper surface and sometimes cup-shaped. They are usually found on fallen Beech branches or trunks.
Another variety of this species, var. foliacea, has a brain-like contorted form.
