Antella niemelaei is a European species that grows as a thin (about 0.5 mm thick), cream-coloured crust on dead hardwoods, especially on or around the dead fruit bodies of the polypore Hymenochaetopsis tabacina. It has small circular pores numbering about 4 per mm. The hyphal system is dimitic, with thin-walled generative hyphae having clamp connections, and thick-walled skeletal hyphae. Both hyphal types measure 2–4 μm wide. The spores produced by the fungus are thin-walled, hyaline, and ellipsoid, measuring 2.8–4 by 1.8–2.2 μm.
