Classification: Xylariaceae, Xylariales, Xylariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi

 

Notes – The genus is characterized by semi-immersed, multiascomatal, linear stomata with conspicuous ascomatal mounds, forming a clypeoid carbonaceous layer and cylindrical, unitunicate asci with short-pedicel. Daranagama et al. (2018) and Wendt et al. (2018) accepted the genus in Xylariaceae. However, sequence data of the type species are needed to investigate its potential synonymy with Nemania.

 

Type species: Euepixylon udum (Pers.) Læssøe & Spooner 

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Euepixylon.
