The Roussoellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. As accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020; [2]

The family was introduced by Liu et al. in 2014 and originally contained Neoroussoella, Roussoella and Roussoellopsis. [1] [3] It is a well-resolved family in the Pleosporales order. [1] Many species of the Roussoellaceae family have been described from terrestrial plants including bamboo, [4] palms and mangrove trees. [5] [6] It has also been found in the marine environment and found on the seagrass Posidonia oceanica , with the green alga Flabellia petiolata and also the brown alga Padina pavonica , which were all collected in the Mediterranean Sea.

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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pleosporales</span> Order of fungi

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 causing glume blotch on wheat and Leptosphaeria maculans causing a stem canker on cabbage crops (Brassica). Some species of Pleosporales occur on animal dung and a small number occur as lichens and rock-inhabiting fungi.

Roussoëlla is a genus of fungi in the family Roussoellaceae. 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 generic name honours Marietta Hannon Rousseau, (1850–1926), who was a Belgian mycologist and taxonomist.
