Small, tough mushrooms on fallen wood, twigs and leaves. Distinguished from Marasmius by pileipellis structure (cutis or trichoderm rather than a hymeniform palisade). Some species with central stipe, some with lateral stipe or directly laterally attached to substrate.
About four species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.
