Castanediella was introduced by Crous et al. (2015c) and placed in Xylariales genera incertae sedis. The genus is characterized by a hyphomycetous asexual morph with branched or unbranched conidiophores, mono- to polyblastic conidiogenous cells and straight to slightly curved, 0–1-septate conidia. The species are commonly isolated from leaf litter, leaf spots and wood. Currently, the genus comprises 16 species (Crous et al. 2015c, 2016a, b, 2018c, HernándezRestrepo et al. 2016b, 2017, Wanasinghe et al. 2018, Hyde et al. 2019a, Lin et al. 2019a). In this entry we illustrate Castanediella brevis (Fig. 1).

Type species: Castanediella acaciae Crous, Hern.-Restr. & M.J. Wingf., Persoonia 34: 187 (2015).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Castanediella.
