The Bionectriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Hypocreales. A 2008 estimate places 35 genera and 281 species in the family. [1] Species in the family tend to grow on plant material, including woody debris, while some species associate with algae, bryophytes, or other fungi. [2]
Bionectriaceae was introduced by Rossman et al. (1999) to accommodate 26 genera. [3] It has been revised and refined by several studies based on phylogenetic analyses (Rossman et al. 2001; [4] Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015, 2016; [5] Wijayawardene et al. 2018). [6] The 2022 treatment of Bionectriaceae was provided by Wijayawardene et al. with the acceptance of 47 genera. [7]
This is a list of the genera in the Bionectriaceae, based on a 2022 review and summary of fungal classification by Wijayawardene and colleagues. [7] Following the genus name is the taxonomic authority (those who first circumscribed the genus; standardized author abbreviations are used), year of publication, and the number of species:
