They are usually hairy and rarely smooth. The smooth [spores](/source/Ascospore) are reddish brown to copper colored, one-celled, and have a [germ pore](/source/Germ_pore) at one or both ends. [Asci](/source/Ascus) can occur singly or in chains.[2] ## Genera As accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020 (with number of species);[3] - *[Acaulium](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Acaulium&action=edit&redlink=1)* Sopp (4) - *[Brachyconidiellopsis](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brachyconidiellopsis&action=edit&redlink=1)* Decock, R.F.
