Biogeography: Checklist records: Austria, Germany, Great Britain, New Guinea, New Zealand, Sweden and Norway, and United States and Canada (continental).

Ecology: Saprobic or biotroph; lichenicolous or fungicolous; terricolous, bryophytic, lignicolous, corticolous, or epiphyllous; substrate non-calciferous or calciferous.

Lichen Photobionts: Primary photobiont absent. Secondary photobiont absent.

Thallus: Indistinct, not subdivided parts, filamentose. Upper Surface: White; special structures absent. Lower Surface: Attached by the whole lower surface; special structures absent.

Medulla: Iodine reaction in Lugol's solution negative; not different with or without KOH pre-treatment (euamyloid).

Reproduction Strategy: Only known as sterile, asexually reproducing form or with sexual (and possible asexual) stages. Ascocarps: Perithecioid, orbicular, forming all across the thallus surface, becoming adnate to soon sessile, stromatic. Margin: External filaments absent or present. Exciple: Yellow, brown, red, white, brownish yellow, orange, or pink (rosé). Periphyses: Present. Hymenium: Iodine reaction: Lugol’s negative, not hemiamyloid. Interascal Hyphae: Absent or present, scarcely branched, not or scarcely anastomosed. Hypothecium: Yellow, brown, red, white, brownish yellow, orange, or pink (rosé).

Asci: Tholus not thickened or thickened, not amyloid; dehiscence unitunicate; exoascus not amyloid, not hemiamyloid.

Ascospores: c. 4 to c. 8 per ascus, globose, broadly ellipsoid, ellipsoid, fusiform, filiform, cylindrical, oblong-obtuse, ovoid, clavate, oblong, or curved, 4-240 µm long, 2-25 µm wide, obtuse or aciculate; septa present; transversally septate or both transversally and longitudinally, 1-17-transversally septate, formed by the proper spore wall; wall thin, not thickened at the septum, dark brown, hyaline, or pale brown, in Lugol's Solution negative, wall not ornamented or ornamented.

Conidiomata: Absent resp. not observed or present; pycnidial or hyphomycetous; formed all accross the thallus surface.
