Pleosporales

The Pleosporales is the largest order in the fungal class Dothideomycetes. By a 2008 estimate, it contained 23 families, 332 genera and more than 4700 species. The majority of species are saprobes on decaying plant material in fresh water, marine, or terrestrial environments, but several species are also associated with living plants as parasites, epiphytes or endophytes. The best studied species cause plant diseases on important agricultural crops e.g. Cochliobolus heterostrophus, causing southern corn leaf blight on maize, Phaeosphaeria nodorum (Stagonospora nodorum) causing glume blotch on

Coniothyrium is a genus of fungi in the family Coniothyriaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Czech mycologist August Carl Joseph Corda in 1840. It was formerly placed in the Phaeosphaeriaceae family until 1983 when the family was established.

The Leptosphaeriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. The family was circumscribed by mycologist Margaret E. Barr in 1987. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the family contained 8 genera and 302 species. The family has a widespread distribution, but is especially prevalent in temperate regions. Species are either saprobic or grow as nectrotrophs (organisms that grow and reproduce on dead cells) on the stems or leaves of plants.

Didymella is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Didymellaceae.

Trichodelitschia is a genus of fungi in the family Phaeotrichaceae.

The Diademaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. Taxa are widespread, especially in temperate regions, and are parasitic or saprobic in stem and leaves.

Epicoccum is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Didymellaceae.

Amarenomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Phaeosphaeriaceae. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Amarenomyces dactylidis (2017) A former species A. ammophilae (1981) is now Amarenographium metableticum (still in the same Phaeosphaeriaceae family).

The Massariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. It contains 3 genera and 33 species. Taxa in the family have a cosmopolitan distribution, but are better known in more temperate zones. Although the family is poorly known, it has been suggested that they are saprobic in wood and bark, with a few species being weak pathogens.

Massarina is a genus of fungi in the Massarinaceae family. Anamorph forms of species in Massarina include Acrocalymma, Ceratophoma, and Tetraploa. Massarina was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1883. The widespread genus contains about 100 species.

Wettsteinina is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The type species Wettsteinina gigantospora was first described by Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel in 1907. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class was unknown in 2008, until it was resolved and placed in the Pleosporaceae family.

The Parodiellaceae are a family of fungi with an uncertain taxonomic placement in the class Dothideomycetes. It contains the single genus Parodiella, which has four species.

Leptorhaphis is a genus of lichens in the family Naetrocymbaceae. Members of the genus are commonly called birchbark dot lichens. The genus comprises eight recognized species that are widely distributed, primarily growing on the bark of deciduous trees such as birch, aspen, and larch. Most species lack a visible thallus and are considered saprobic rather than truly lichenized, as they generally do not form a stable partnership with algae.

Tomasellia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Naetrocymbaceae. It comprises seven species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichens.

The genus is characterized by two-celled ascospores, unitunicate asci with a small spherical apical ring that stains slightly blue with Melzer's reagent, and stromata with several perithecia. The genus was circumscribed by Italian mycologist Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1888, with Roussoella nitidula assigned as the type species. The generic name honours Marietta Hannon Rousseau, (1850–1926), who was a Belgian mycologist and taxonomist.

Appendispora is a genus of fungi in the family Roussoellaceae. It was formerly in family Didymosphaeriaceae.

Naetrocymbe is a genus of about 20 species of fungi belonging to the family Naetrocymbaceae. These fungi typically live embedded in the bark of smooth-trunked trees and are barely visible except for tiny dark dots that contain their spores. Most species function primarily as bark-dwelling fungi, with only some forming casual partnerships with algae to create lichens. The genus was established in 1865 by Gustav Wilhelm Körber, with the name derived from Greek words meaning 'spindle' and 'boat' in reference to the characteristic spore shape. These fungi reproduce through flask-shaped structures
