2.2.11 Sporidesmiales ( Sordariomycetes , Ascomycota)

Sporidesmiales was introduced by Crous et al. (2018b) with a single family ( Sporidesmiaceae ) and genus ( Sporidesmium ) saprobic on woody debris in terrestrial and aquatic habitats or mycoparasites of fungi. The divergence time for Sporidesmiales is estimated as 81 MYA ( Hyde et al. 2020b), which is evidence of a family status but ranking it as an order may need revision following further study. One marine species ( Sporidesmium salinum ) has been reported on submerged wood at Millport, Isle of Man, UK as an asexual morph ( Jones 1963). No further reports of the species are known and further collections are required to obtain sequence data and determine its taxonomic affiliation.
