Atheliales is an order mostly composed of corticioid fungi (Sulistyo et al. 2021). Based on phylogenetic analyses Sulistyo et al. (2021) accepted five families: Atheliaceae, Byssocorticiaceae, Lobuliciaceae, Pilodermataceae, and Tylosporaceae in this order. However, Wijayawardena et al. (2022) accepted only Atheliaceae and Lobuliciaceae in this order.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Atheliales.
