Small, Marasmius-like mushrooms on fallen wood. Stipe dark, tough, fruiting body often reviving. Distinguished from Marasmius by the usually yellow to orange gills and amyloid spores.

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

Pileus symmetrical, usually very thin, depressed or infundi-fuliform ; gills truly decurrent, edge thin, entire; stem distinctly cartilaginous externally, tubular, but the cavity is frequently stuffed, especially when young, usually widening upwards into the pileus; spores hyaline.

Agreeing with Clitocybe in the decurrent gills, but readily known by the externally polished, cartilaginous stem. The species are with few exceptions small, and many grow on wood, twigs, &c. Smell obsolete, or nearly so, in all the species.
