Sporocarps stalked. Spore mass in its fresh state is predominantly shades of yellow, olivaceous, orange or, in some instances, shades of red. 

Peridium rapidly evanescent, leaving the persistent cup at the base of sporocarps.

combinations thereof.

Spores typically ornamented with minute warts with groups of larger warts.
