Stachybotriaceae Lombard & Crous, 2014 | |
The Stachybotryaceae are a family of fungi in the order Hypocreales; the genera it contains have been described as "hyper-diverse".[2]
The family was originally introduced by Crous et al. (2014) to accommodate three genera; Myrothecium, Peethamabra and Stachybotrys.[1] It was revised by Lombard et al. (2016) based on morphological characters and multi-locus phylogenetic analysis. They accepted 33 genera in the family, including 21 new genera.[2]
Generally, the species in Stachybotryaceae are characterized by asexual morphs with mononematous to sporodochial to synnematous conidiomata, usually with phialidic conidiogenous cells that produce 0–1-septate conidia in dark green dry chains or slimy masses.[2] Three species of Stachybotryaceae;(Koorchalomella salmonispora, Stachybotrys chartarum and Stachybotrys chlorohalonata) have been reported from freshwater habitats.[3]
