Notes

Most species with tiny, white, highly-reduced fruiting bodies, with the appearance of small, stalked cups. Gloiocephala rubescens is larger, with fold-like gills. Saprobic. Anastrophella is similar to some of the very small species, but its cap is oriented downwards.

Six species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.
