Fruit bodies of hat- and- legged with the central position of the legs, small or medium sizes.

The cap is thin, hygrophic , initially spherical, bell-shaped or conical in shape, can open up to flat, the edges are often furrowed, the color is from whitish to various brown shades.

The flesh is fleshy, brittle.

The leg is long and thin, brittle, fibrous, with a cavity, usually the same color as the hat or lighter. The surface may be felt or scaly.

The plates are grown or loose, first light, then darken and become brown, violet-brown or black, usually with a lighter edge.

The remains of the bedspread are noticeable on the surface and especially at the edges of the cap, cobweb or membranous, the ring and Volvo are usually absent, rarely there is a ring on the leg.

Spore powder is dark brown, purple or almost black.

Spores from dark purple to black, usually smooth, with occasional germination. There are cheilocystids , their shape can be varied: bottle-shaped, saccular, club-shaped, with a coracoid outgrowth, sometimes inlaid with crystals.

Saprotrophs , grow on soil (humus saprotrophs), stumps and wood debris (xylotrophs), are found in forests and plantings, sometimes among grass. They can grow in separate fruiting bodies, but more often bear fruit in large clusters.

For mushroom pickers, these mushrooms do not matter much because of thin caps and difficulty in determining. Some species may be considered conditionally edible , but their edibility is disputed by many authors.
