Penzigia Sacc. 1888

Notes

Globose fruiting bodies, either sessile on the host substrate or on a short, narrow stalk. Tissue white inside, with the small, globose perithecia in a narrow layer just beneath the surface. Probably should be considered congeneric with Xylaria.

A few species have been reported for New Zealand, but the genus is poorly understood taxonomically and has not been treated in detail. Only those species listed below have been treated in the Virtual Mycota
