Description
Individual taxa may be sessile to shortly stipitate, cupulate, discoid (disc-shaped), pulvinate (cushion-shaped), or with turbinate (turban-shaped) epigeous pyronemataceae. Also, taxa may be sub-hypogeous to hypogeous with closed, folded, or solid pyronemataceae. Pyronemataceae may range in size from less than 1.02 mm up to 11 cm diameter, and may be brightly colored due to carotenoid pigments. Genera of the pyronemataceae lack unifying macroscopic or microscopic characteristics; this lack of uniting characters has led various authors to propose a variety of classification schemes.
