Notes

Small, delicate, deliquescing mushrooms, on rotting wood, wood chip mulches and soil. Most New Zealand species appear to be exotic, but poorly understood taxonomically.
Several of the 20 or more species reported from New Zealand may have been incorrectly indentified. Only those species listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.
