Podonectria is a genus in the monotypic Podonectriaceae family of fungi. They are parasitic fungus on scale insects, other fungi, or on substrates that had previously colonized by other fungi.
The family of Podonectriaceae was introduced to accommodate genus Podonectria by Dao et al. in 2016. This was later confirmed by ITS and LSU data.
