Fruiting bodies with a sterile, broad, stalk-like base, flesh white when young, powdery and brown when mature, opening through a well-defined pore. On soil.

Several species reported for New Zealand, but poorly understood taxonomically. Only those species listed below treated in the Virtual Mycota.

Small puffballs found on soil, with a distinct cellular sterile base, plus a distinct skin-like membrane (diaphragm) separating the spore mass from the base.

There is a single species reported from New Zealand.

More or less globose fruiting body with a sterile, stalk-like base, opening through a regularly-shaped pore. Internal tissue white when young, powdery brown when mature.
