Bambusicolaceae D.Q. Dai & K.D. Hyde, Fungal Diversity 63: 49 (2013)

Notes.

Bambusicolaceae was first introduced by Hyde et al. (2013) to accommodate Bambusicola with B. massarinia being the type species. Subsequently, another three genera were accommodated in this family viz. Corylicola ( Wijesinghe et al. 2020), Leucaenicola ( Jayasiri et al. 2019) and Palmiascoma ( Liu et al. 2015). Species of these genera have been reported from various hosts, such as Camellia , Corylus , Eucalyptus , Fagaceae sp., Leucaena , Osmanthus and palm and so far, found distributed in China (Sichuan and Yunnan), Italy and Thailand ( Liu et al. 2015; Jayasiri et al. 2019; Ariyawansa et al. 2020a, b; Hongsanan et al. 2020; Wijesinghe et al. 2020; Monkai et al. 2021). Members of Bambusicolaceae are mainly saprobes; however, Ariyawansa et al. (2020a, b) reported that species of Leucaenicola associated with leaf spot diseases on Camellia and Osmanthus in Taiwan (China). Bambusicolaceae is a well-studied family, based on morphological characteristics of sexual-asexual morphs and multigene phylogenetic evidence. Recent taxonomic treatment carried out by Hongsanan et al. (2020) revealed that the family belongs to the suborder Massarineae , order Pleosporales of Dothideomycetes , comprising four genera and 25 species (http://www.indexfungorum.org; accessed on 25 May 2023).
