Phyllachorales

Order of fungi

Phyllachorales is a small order of perithecial sac fungi containing mostly foliar parasites. This order lacks reliable morphological characters making taxonomic placement of genera difficult. There is controversy among mycologists as to the boundaries of this order.[1] Family Phaeochorellaceae was added in 2020.[2]
