The genus is characterised by subglobose to obpyriform ascomata having ostioles with fimbriate hyphae and 1-septate, elliptical to cylindrical ascospores, surrounded by a hyaline gelatinous sheath, discharged in gummy masses (Petrak 1940, Valldosera & Guarro 1989). The asexual morph is undetermined.
