Bionectriaceae

The Bionectriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Hypocreales. A 2008 estimate places 35 genera and 281 species in the family.^[1] Species in the family tend to grow on plant material, including woody debris, while some species associate with algae, bryophytes, or other fungi.^[2]

History

Bionectriaceae was introduced by Rossman et al. (1999) to accommodate 26 genera.^[3] It has been revised and refined by several studies based on phylogenetic analyses (Rossman et al. 2001;^[4] Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015, 2016;^[5] Wijayawardene et al. 2018).^[6] The 2022 treatment of Bionectriaceae was provided by Wijayawardene et al. with the acceptance of 47 genera.^[7]
