Dictyosporiaceae was introduced by Liu et al. (2015) and was formally accepted by Boonmee et al. (2016) along with Dictyosporium as the type genus. Species of Dictyosporiaceae are mostly saprobes found on decaying wood in aquatic and terrestrial habitats (Boonmee et al. 2016). Asexual morphs of this family are cheirosporous hyphomycetes (Boonmee et al. 2016). Twelve genera are currently accepted in this family (Wijayawardene et al. 2017a, 2018).

Type genus: Dictyosporium Corda, Weitenweber’s Beitr. Nat. 1: 87 (1837).
