Notes – This asexual morph genus is characterized by sporodochial conidiomata, subcylindrical conidiogenous cells and aseptate hyaline conidia arranged in long chains (Bonorden 1851, Crous et al. 2018c). The taxonomic placement of Cylindrium was doubtful for years. Cylindrium elongatum was accepted in Hypocreales incertae sedis by Lombard et al. (2015). Crous et al. (2018c) revealed that Cylindrium is a member of Hypocreales and described Cylindriaceae based on ITS sequence data. Cylindrium elongatum grouped within Amphisphaeriales in our phylogenetic analysis. Cylindrium candidum and C. algarvense are illustrated in this entry
Type species: Cylindrium elongatum Bonord. 1851 (Designated by Clements & Shear, Gen. fung., Edn 2 (Minneapolis): 387. 1931)..
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Cylindrium.
