Sporocadaceae Corda, Icon. Fungorum (Prague) 5: 34 (1842)

Notes:— Sporocadaceae , also known as pestalotioid fungi, was introduced by Corda (1842) to accommodate Sporocadus as the type genus. Species of Sporocadaceae are cosmopolitan and have diverse lifestyles as endophytes, plant pathogens, saprobes, and associated with a wide range of host plants ( Bonthond et al. 2018, Liu et al. 2019, Hyde et al. 2020a). Typically, appendage bearing coelomycetes genera are included in this family and have been subjected to several taxonomic treatments ( Nag Raj 1993, Jaklitsch et al. 2016, Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016, Liu et al. 2019). Thirty genera are accepted in Sporocadaceae ( Liu et al. 2019; Hyde et al. 2020a). In this study, we follow Hyde et al. (2020a) as the most recent treatment for Sporocadaceae .
