The genus is typified by C. perennis (L.) Murrill. Species of this genus are cosmopolitan and have few species that have been found to be associated with plant roots (Tedersoo et al. 2007). Coltricia is characterized by poroid and stipitate basidiocarps, a monomitic hyphal system lacking clamp connections and coloured, ellipsoid to subglobose, smooth basidiospores (Dai 2010). Wijayawardene et al. (2022) accepted 40 species in this genus.
