features

The fruit cups colonize dead fruits or catkins of higher plants, which they usually blacken and sclerotinize. However, they do not form their own separate sclerotia , which distinguishes them from the genera Ciborinia and Sclerotinia . Their fruiting bodies are mostly reddish to brownish in color and have a distinct stalk. Its ascus tip turns purple in Lugol's solution . Your spores are not septate.
The types of Stromabecherlinge ( Rutstroemia ) are similar, but they never colonize the fruit, but at most the fruit peels next to pieces of wood and leaves. In addition, their spores are sometimes septate and cut off secondary spores.

ecology

The fruit cups live saprobion table on the fruits or catkins of higher plants.
