Calostoma Desv. 1809

Calostoma fruiting bodies comprise globose black to brown spore cases raised from the soil on a spongy gelatinous woven stalk. The spores are contained in an elastic inner bag inside the spore case. The narrow, branched opening is surrounded by brightly-coloured "lips".

Two species are recorded from New Zealand, both from beech forest.

Saprobic on soil. Distinctive round fruiting bodies with brightly coloured 'lips' around the opening, with a viscid, highly textured stalk.

Two species in New Zealand.
