XylariaNotesGlobose 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
Solitary, more or less globose perithecia. Distinguished from Rosellinia by the rugose perithecial surface, and by the asexual state forming short pegs on the outside of the perithecial wall. A single species on tree fern fronds.
Upright, cylindrical fruiting bodies with a sterile basal part and the upper part lined with a single layer of perithecia in the outer layers of the fruiting body. The internal tissue white.
Fifteen or more species in New Zealand, all indigenous. There are several undescribed penzigioid species Only those species listed below have been treated in the Virtual Mycota.
