features

The fruiting bodies are sessile to stalked sporocarp or plasmodiocarp . The stems, if any, are variable. They can be well differentiated or form an indefinite, membrane-like or thread-like connection to the hypothallus . The peridium consists of one or rarely two layers, either without or with a lot of lime.

The capillitium consists of calcareous tubes that are networked at all levels, but are sometimes interrupted by calcareous, thread-like, physaroid sections or are composed entirely of almost parallel, calcareous tubes that are hardly connected to one another. Columella or pseudocolumella are rarely found .

The spores are black-brown to black, rarely brown, they are free or clumped.
