Kretzschmaria Fr. 1849
Large fruiting bodies containing many individual perithecia, usually flattened across the host surface, but quite irregular in shape, either comprising large numbers of closely packed, short-cylindric structures, or irregular overlapping plates. Spores usually large.
Two species have been reported from New Zealand, earlier reports of the Northern Hemisphere K. deusta were probably incorrect.
