Fruit bodies - apothecia or cleistothecia , small or rather large, disc-shaped or cup-shaped, sessile or with a short stalk, often brightly colored, sometimes with a brown pubescence with a hymenophore . Kleistothecia are usually underground, thick-walled, hollow or not hollow. Asuka cylindrical, non-amyloid . Spores are aseptic, mononuclear, usually elliptical, brownish or unpainted, with a smooth or ornamented surface.
It is likely that the family is polyphyletic , however, the corresponding molecular studies have not been conducted. Perhaps the Ascodesmidaceae J. Schröt family . , 1893 and Glaziellaceae JL Gibson 1986 are synonyms of the Pironemovs.
