Species within the Cerinomycetaceae are saprotrophs and occur on dead wood. As originally conceived, the family comprised all species of the Dacrymycetes having effused, corticioid basidiocarps (fruit bodies).[1] Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however shown that this circumscription is not valid. As a result, the family now contains some (but not all) species having corticioid basidiocarps and some species (previously referred to the Dacrymycetaceae) with gelatinous, pustular basidiocarps.[2]
