Bambusicolaceae was introduced by Hyde et al. (2013) with four genera, viz. Bambusicola D.Q. Dai & K.D. Hyde, Leucaenicola Jayasiri, E.B.G. Jones & K.D. Hyde, Neobambusicola Crous & M.J. Wingf. and Palmiascoma Phookamsak & K.D. Hyde (Liu et al. 2015, Wijayawardene et al. 2018, Jayasiri et al. 2019). Later, Wijayawardene et al. (2020) accepted Neobambusicola in Sulcatisporaceae. Bambusicolaceae shares similar morphological characteristics with some families in Pleosporales (i.e. Didymosphaeriaceae, Massarinaceae and Tetraplosphaeriaceae), in having cylindrical to clavate asci and fusiform to ellipsoidal, hyaline to brown, 1-septate ascospores (Dai et al. 2015). Bambusicolaceae differs from related families with asexual morph having holoblastic, annelidic or phialidic conidiogenous cells (Dai et al. 2015).).

Type species: Bambusicola D.Q. Dai & K.D. Hyde, in Dai, Bhat, Liu, Chukeatirote, Zhao & Hyde, Cryptog. Mycol. 33(3): 367 (2012).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Bambusicolaceae.
