2.3.16 Teratosphaeriaceae

Crous et al. (2007a) introduced Teratosphaeriaceae to accommodate Teratosphaeria (with a Readeriella -like asexual morph) and 11 asexual genera. The family comprises around 60 genera and represents one of the largest families in Dothideomycetes (Crous et al. 2011c; Wijayawardene et al. 2022). The members of the family are saprobes, plant and human pathogens, rock-inhabiting, and endophytes (Crous et al. 2009a,b, 2011a,b; Egidi et al. 2014; Quaedvlieg et al. 2014). Hortaea werneckii ( Teratosphaeriaceae) is a very common taxon in marine habitats (Abdel-Wahab et al. 2014).
