features

The medium-sized fruit bodies usually have a central stem. The color spectrum of the mushroom bodies ranges from yellow-brown to brick-red. The color of the spore powder is dark brown to almost black. The fruiting body development is hemiangiocarp , i. H. during growth, the young fruiting body is surrounded by a velum . This velum can only be found in the sulfur heads on very young fruiting bodies.

Distribution and ecology

The genus is widespread worldwide and its representatives prefer to grow saprobion table on dead wood and plant remains. Some species are bound to moors .

species

Around 20 species occur in Europe or can be expected there.
