Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank

Classification: Hypocreales, Hypocreomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi 

Associated with plant substrates, especially leaves. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Mycelium composed of septate, branched, hyaline, smooth-walled hyphae. Conidiophores sporodochial or solitary, erect, hyphae and basal part of conidiophores subcylindrical, septate, branched, becoming pale brown, smooth-walled. Conidiogenous cells terminal and intercalary, subcylindrical, hyaline, smooth-walled, with several sympodial flat-tipped loci, unthickened, not darkened. Ramoconidia subcylindrical, guttulate, hyaline, smooth-walled. Conidia aseptate, arranged in long, branched chains, scars not thickened, slightly refractive, hyaline, smooth-walled (adapted from Crous et al. 2018c).

Notes – Cylindrium was considered as Hypocreales incertae sedis by Lombard et al. (2015). Crous et al. (2018c) introduced Cylindriaceae in Hypocreales to accommodate this genus based on phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequence data. We maintain Cylindriaceae in Amphisphaeriales based on our phylogenetic anlysis of combined genes and divergence estimates

Type genus: Cylindrium Bonord., Handb. Allgem. Mykol. (Stuttgart): 34 (1851).
