Etymology: The name refers to the gasteroid, auricularioid basidia similar to those of species of Atractiella Sacc., and to the colacosomes in the hyphae.
Diagnosis: is a genus of heterobasidiomycetous fungi characterized by small or inconspicuous, gelatinous basidiocarps which are mainly formed by gasteroid auricularioid basidia. The hyphae are hyaline and contain colacosomes and septa with simple pores. Probasidia are absent. Basidiospores are hyaline and produce secondary blastospores.
