The Hypocreales are an order of fungi within the class Sordariomycetes. In 2008, it was estimated that it contained some 237 genera, and 2647 species in seven families. Since then, a considerable number of further taxa have been identified, including an additional family, the Stachybotryaceae. Wijayawardene et al. in 2020 added more families and genera to the order. According to the Catalog of Life, As of April 2021 the Hypocreales contains 6 families, 137 genera, and 1411 species. Hyde et al. (2020a) listed 14 families under Hypocreales, while, Wijayawardene et al. (2022) accepted 15 families in the order, where Cylindriaceae was additionally added. Earlier, Hyde et al. (2020a) had placed Cylindriaceae in class Xylariomycetidae. Samarakoon et al. (2022) agreed. Hence, Cylindriaceae should have been excluded from Hypocreales and placed in Xylariomycetidae. Xiao et al. (2022) recently introduced a new family Polycephalomycetaceae to Hypocreales.
The Nectriaceae comprise a family of fungi in the order Hypocreales. It was circumscribed by brothers Charles and Louis René Tulasne in 1865. In 2020, an Outline of fungi was produced and listed 70 genera and about 1,336 species.
The fungal genus Truncatella in the family Sporocadaceae, and in the Amphisphaeriales order, includes plant pathogens such as Truncatella laurocerasi.
The Phaeosphaeriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. Species in the family have a cosmopolitan distribution, and are generally nectrotrophic or saprobic on a wide range of plants.
Broomella is a genus of fungi in the family Sporocadaceae.
Leptosphaerulina is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class was unknown in 2007 until it was placed within the Didymellaceae family in the Pleosporales order. The genus was first described by Australian plant pathologist Daniel McAlpine in 1902.
Keissleriella is a genus of fungi, that was originally placed in the Massarinaceae family, before being placed in the Lentitheciaceae family.
Pestalotiopsis is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the Sporocadaceae family.
Seiridium is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae.
Camarosporium is a genus of fungi belonging to the order Pleosporales, and originally placed in family Coniothyriaceae. It was then placed in the family Camarosporiaceae Wanas., Wijayaw., K.D. Hyde & Crous, 2017 with another genus Camarosporomyces. This has been accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020.
Diaporthomycetidae is a subclass of sac fungi under the class Sordariomycetes.
The Amphisphaeriales are an order of fungi within the class Sordariomycetes and subclass Xylariomycetidae.
The Sporocadaceae are a family of fungi, that was formerly in the order Xylariales. It was placed in the Amphisphaeriales order in 2020.

Heterotruncatella is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae.
Neopestalotiopsis is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae.
Pseudopestalotiopsis is a genus of plant pathogens in the family Sporocadaceae.
Sarcostroma is a genus of fungi in the family Sporocadaceae. Most species of this genus are saprobes, endophytes or pathogens on leaves.
Pararamichloridium is a genus of fungi in the monotypic family Pararamichloridiaceae and within the monotypic order of Pararamichloridiales and also in the subclass Hypocreomycetidae. They are saprobic on wood in terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
