            Diagnosis: Basidiome resupinate, effused, soft and fragile, pellicular, hymenophore smooth, whitish or with some green or pinkish tints. Hyphal system monomitic, hyphae with clamps, thin- to slightly thick-walled, hyaline, encrusted or not. Cystidia usually absent or present as thin-walled hyphoid leptocystidia. Basidia clavate, usually small up to 12–15 μm long, with 4-sterigmata, and a basal clamp. Basidiospores ellipsoid or cylindrical, usually up to 5 μm long, smooth, thin-walled, IKI–, CB– (in the generic type) or with a weakly cyanophilous reaction.
