A genus of small discomycetes generally restricted to and characterisitic of places where wood has been burnt. Although most species are orange in colour and form large aggregations they can be surprisingly inconspicous among the ash and charcoal.

In addition to habitat, the genus is recognised by the scurfy hairs on the underside clumping to form dark striations (hand lens), and, under the microscope, the smooth, ellipsoid ascospores with two oil drops.
