Thalli adhering to the substratum by a callus- or crust-like holdfast, from which a pluriseriate stipe arises, gradually expanding into a linear, lanceolate, wedge-shaped, spoonshaped or fan-shaped blade, ranging in width and length from a few mm to approximately 1.5 cm. Reproduction sexually by oogamy or asexually by aplanospores. The genus includes both species with sexual reproduction and species with entirely asexual life histories.
