Corylicola was introduced by Wijesinghe et al. (2020) to accommodate the type species C. italica. Corylicola is morphologically similar to other genera in Bamusicolaceae in having globose to subglobose, ostiolate ascomata, cylindrical asci and 1-septate ascospores. However, Corylicola has an independent phylogenetic placement and yellowish-brown ascospores. Until now, only the type species was included in this genus.
Type species: Corylicola hydei J.F. Zhang, Jian K. Liu & Z.Y. Liu.
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Corylicola.
