Pleomassariaceae

The Pleomassariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. Taxa have a widespread distribution in both temperate and tropical regions, and are saprobic or necrotrophic on wood, bark, and other herbaceous material.[1] The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Margaret Elizabeth Barr-Bigelow in 1979.[2]

  • Beverwykella Tubaki (1975) – 3 spp.
  • Lichenopyrenis Calat., Sanz & Aptroot (2001) – 1 sp.
  • Myxocyclus Riess (1852) – 1 sp.
  • Peridiothelia D. Hawksw. (1985) – 3 spp.
  • Pleomassaria Speg. (1880) – 15 spp.
