Type species: Z. vorticellarius Thaxt. View in CoL
Brief description
Monoecious. The large to very large pseudoparenchymatous receptacle unmistakably defines this genus, along with other features related to perithecial morphology ( Santamaria 2004).
Remarks
The genus consists of five species, of which two in Europe, one in Denmark. The most recently described species is Z. vermiformis ( Das et al. 2018) . Zodiomyces was an isolated genus in the Zodiomycetoideae ( Tavares 1985) until Santamaria (2004) redefined its status when two new related genera were described.
