Classification: Diaporthomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Dikarya, Fungi.

Notes: Maharachchikumbura et al. (2015) established Annulatascales to accommodate Annulatascaceae based on an overall Sordariomycetes phylogeny using LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 sequences. Annulatascales is monotypic. Members in the order are saprophytic fungi growing on decaying wood, palm, grass, or bamboo from freshwater and terrestrial habitats (Fröhlich and Hyde 2000; Cai et al. 2002b; Zhang et al. 2017b; Dong et al. 2021a).

Type family: Annulatascaceae S.W. Wong, K.D. Hyde & E.B.G. Jones.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Annulatascales.
