Saprobic on decaying wood. Asexual morph: Colonies on natural substrate superficial, effuse, dark brown to black. Conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidia dry, dark brown to black, mostly globose to subglobose, smooth. Sexual morph: Undetermined (copied from Luo et al. 2019).
Type species: Dematiosporium aquaticum Z.L. Luo, K.D. Hyde & H.Y. Su, in Luo et al., Fungal Diversity: 10.1007/s13225-019-00438-1, [123] (2019)
Notes: Dematisporium, which is typified by D. aquaticum, mostly resembles Conioscypha aquatica in having micronematous conidiophores and dry, dark brown to black, globose to subglobose conidia (Luo et al. 2019). However, Dematisporium aquaticum is distinguished from Conioscypha aquatica in having larger conidia and C. aquatica belongs to Conioscyphaceae (copied from Hyde et al. 2020).
