Nidulariaceae The Nidulariaceae have a "gasteroid" fruiting body, meaning that the spores develop internally, as in an "angiocarp". Fruiting bodies are typically gregarious (growing together in groups, but not joined together). Young fruiting bodies are initially covered by a thin membrane that dehisces irregularly or by a "circumscissile" split, in a circular line around the circumference of the cup opening. Fruiting bodies (also called "peridia") are small, generally between 5–15 mm wide and 4–8 mm high, urn- or vase-shaped, and contain one to several disc-shaped peridioles that resemble tiny eggs.
Nidulariaceae Peridioles contain glebal tissue, basidia, and basidiospores, surrounded by a hardened wall. They are commonly "lenticular" in shape (like a biconvex lens), measuring 1–3 mm in diameter.The color of the peridioles is characteristic of the genera: "Cyathus" has black peridioles, "Nidularia" and "Nidula" have brown peridioles, "Mycocalia" has yellow- to red-brown peridioles, and "Crucibulum" has black peridioles that are surrounded by a whitish membrame called the tunica, which makes them appear white. In most species, the peridioles are dispersed by rain, but they may also be free in the peridium, surrounded by a jelly-like mucilage.
Nidulariaceae Small barrel- to lens-shaped fruiting bodies, usually 0.5–2 mm broad, that grow singly or in small groups.
Nidulariaceae Fruiting bodies between 3–8 mm in diameter, 5–15 mm tall, and cup- or urn-shaped—having almost vertical sides with the lip flared outwards; color ranging from white, grey, buff, or tawny.
Nidulariaceae Species in this family are cosmopolitan in distribution, and are largely saprobic, obtaining nutrition from the decomposition of wood and plant organic matter.
