Mycelium scanty and immersed, or often producing a stroma, rarely a subicle; 

 perithecia typically globoid, often drawn out into a beak, membranous, coriaceous, 

 or carbonous, brown or black, dehiscing by a round pore or ostiole, single, cespitose 

 or composite in a stroma ; in the latter case each perithecium is distinct, not merely 

 a locule in the stroma ; asci usually numerous, elongate, usually paraphysate ; spores 

 various. „
