Calathella is a genus of fungi in the mushroom family Marasmiaceae.[1]
The genus contains fungi that produce small tubular or cup-shaped cyphelloid fruit bodies. The fruit bodies are characterized by encrusted surface hairs with rounded tips, uniform basidia (swollen at the base), and spores that range in shape from oblong-elliptical to cylindrical.[2]
