Didymella is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Didymellaceae. [1]
The genus has cosmopolitan distribution. [1]
The GBIF lists up to 317 species, [1] while Species Fungorum lists 295 species (see list below). [2]
Selected species include:
Curvularia is a genus of hyphomycete (mold) fungi which can be pathogens but also act as beneficial partners of many plant species. They are common in soil. Most Curvularia species are found in tropical regions, though a few are found in temperate zones.
Alternaria is a genus of Deuteromycetes fungi. All species are known as major plant pathogens. They are also common allergens in humans, growing indoors and causing hay fever or hypersensitivity reactions that sometimes lead to asthma. They are present in the human mycobiome and readily cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised people such as AIDS patients.
Uromyces is a genus of rust fungi in the family Pucciniaceae. The genus was described by Franz Unger in his 1833 work Die Exantheme der Pflanzen. They have a worldwide distribution but large occurrences happen in North America and Europe.
Pleospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. This genus was originally described by Gottlob Ludwig Rabenhorst in 1857 and was revised by Wehmeyer and Müller. There was an estimated 63 species in 2008. As of 8 August 2023, the GBIF lists up to 440 species, while Species Fungorum lists about 375 species.
Geminispora is a genus of fungi in the family Phyllachoraceae; according to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, the placement in this family is uncertain.
Ohleriella is a genus of fungi in the family Delitschiaceae. It has been found in America.
Schistophoron is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Graphidaceae. It contains 5 species.
Achaetobotrys is a genus of fungi within the Antennulariellaceae family.
Pseudocercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. An anamorphic version of the genus Mycosphaerella, Pseudocercospora species are plant pathogens, including the causal agent of the so-called South American leaf blight of the rubber tree. The widely distributed genus is concentrated predominantly in tropical regions. Pseudocercospora was circumscribed by Italian-Argentinian botanist Carlos Luigi Spegazzini in 1910.
Aecidium is a genus of rust fungi in the order Pucciniales.
Distocercospora is a genus of plant-pathogenic fungi in the family Mycosphaerellaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1988 with Distocercospora pachyderma as the type species in 1988.
Coniothyrium is a genus of fungi in the family Coniothyriaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Czech mycologist August Carl Joseph Corda in 1840. It was formerly placed in the Phaeosphaeriaceae family until 1983 when the family was established.
The Didymellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. They have a world-wide distribution.
Asperisporium is a genus of ascomycete fungi whose members are plant pathogens.
Tolyposporium is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Anthracoideaceae.
Glomosporium is a former genus of fungi, formerly placed in the family Glomosporiaceae. The genus was first described by Kochman in 1939. They were later absorbed into the genus Thecaphora.
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.
Chaetopyrena is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Didymellaceae.
Alveolaria is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Pucciniosiraceae.
