Sarea is a genus of small, non-lichenized, inoperculate[1] discomycete fungi in the family Zythiaceae.[2][3] Sarea species are found growing on the resin of conifers in the Cupressaceae and Pinaceae in the northern hemisphere.[1] The genus contains two easily distinguishable species: apothecia of Sarea difformis are black, while those of Sarea resinae are orange in color.[1]
