The Pyronemataceae are a family of fungi in the order Pezizales. It is the largest family of the Pezizales, encompassing 75 genera and approximately 500 species. Phylogenetic analyses does not support the prior classifications of this family, and suggest that the family is not monophyletic as it is currently circumscribed.

Otidea is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus is widely distributed in northern temperate regions.

Aleuria is a genus of cup fungi within the phylum Ascomycota. The best known species is Orange peel fungus, A. aurantia.

Scutellinia is a genus of cup-fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus is widely distributed, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, and according to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), contains 66 species.

Geopora is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the family Pyronemataceae, currently with 13 described species. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Harvey Willson Harkness in 1885. Molecular phylogenetic reconstructions indicate that the cup-like apothecial Geopora should better be placed back in a separate genus, Sepultaria. Geopora would then only comprise Geopora cooperi and its close relatives.

Tricharina is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus has a widespread distribution in temperate regions, and contains 13 species. The anamorph form is Ascorhizoctonia. Tricharina was described by mycologist Finn-Egil Eckblad in 1968.

Anthracobia is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus was circumscribed by Jean Louis Émile Boudier in 1885. Anthracobia is widely distributed in north temperate regions, and contains 15 species. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that the genus as currently circumscribed is polyphyletic.

Pyronema is a genus of cup fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. Pyronema are found fruiting exclusively on recently burned or heat-sterilized substrates. The fruiting bodies (apothecia) are light-pink to orange and disc or cushion shaped. Always growing in dense clusters, and often fusing together resulting in an amorphous mat-like appearance. Ascospores are simple, smooth, ellipsoid, colorless, and lack lipid droplets. When grown in a laboratory setting on agar plates, P. domesticum produces sclerotia, whereas P. omphalodes does not. P. domesticum tends to produce pink to orange apothecia and

Aleurina is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus, which was circumscribed by George Edward Massee in 1898, is synonymous with Jafneadelphus as defined by Mien A. Rifai in 1968. Aleurina is widely distributed and contains 11 species.

Nothojafnea is a genus of two species of cup fungi. It was originally described by Indonesian mycologist Mien Achmad Rifai in 1968 to contain the type species Nothojafnea cryptotricha, found in Australia. N. thaxteri, known from Chile and Argentina, was added to the genus in 1971. Both species are thought to be ectomycorrhizal; N. cryptotricha associates with Myrtaceae, while N. thaxteri is found with Nothofagus.
