Colloderma G. Lister 1910

Description

Fruiting body a sessile (or rarely short-stalked) sporangium. Peridium consisting of two layers, the outer layer gelatinous at first and then drying to become hard and brittle, the inner layer membranous, firm, sometimes with granular inclusions. Columella absent. Capillitium radiating from the base of the sporangium, forming a network, consisting of branching and anastomosing, slender, hyaline to dark filaments. Spores dark.
The genus Colloderma contains four species (Lado 2001), only one of which is known from New Zealand.
