This is a large family containing many genera. The relationship between them is not so obvious.

Genus: Anthracophyllum

Genus: Campanella

			Campanella are a small, tough saprophytic fungus found attached laterally on twigs and small dead branches in humid habitats.
Anthracophyllum archeri			Campanella tristis

Genus: Crinipellis

These small saprobic fungi are found on fallen plant material and have a Marasmius-like fruiting body with a felty cap surface consisting of thick-walled dextrinoid hairs. A hand lens is needed to see them.

Collybiopsis rimutaka

Genus: Resupinatus

Oddly its not clear as to what family this genus belongs to, when looking around I found placed in Marasmiaceae, Pleurotaceae and here in the Tricholomataceae.

Resupinatus vinosolividus

Resupinatus species

Genus: Marasmius

These are saprophytic on dead plant material, commonly found on decaying wood or leaf litter. They often appear in large numbers after rain, which shrivels up when dry and quickly rehydrates when wet. Usually they can be identified by their black or dark stipe.
