Acervus is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. They have cup-shaped fruitbodies that may be up to 1.5 cm (0.6 in) in diameter, with a bright yellow to orange-colored hymenium.[2] Fruitbodies occur on soil, duff, and plant debris. Six of the seven species in the genus are found in China.[1]
