Notes

Small fruiting bodies containing several individual perithecia, flattened across and partly immersed in the host surface. Saprobic on wood that is usually decorticated and partly decomposed. Spores are often small for Xylariaceae, and often with pale brown walls and barely visible germ slits.
Several species have been reported from New Zealand, but is taxonomically poorly understood. Only those listed below have been treated in the Virtual Mycota
