Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig 1

Classification: Chadefaudiellaceae, Microascales, Hypocreomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi

The asexual morph is arthrographis-like, and coprophilous. The sexual morph is undetermined. Taxonomic revisions were undertaken by Kirk et al. (2013). The genus is accepted in Chadefaudiellaceae by Cannon & Kirk (2007), Tang et al. (2007), Rossman et al. (2012), Kirk et al. (2013), Maharachchikumbura et al. (2015, 2016b), and Wijayawardene et al. (2017a, 2018a). Faurelina differs as ascomata lack apical anastomosing setae and ascospores are dextrinoid.

Type species: Faurelina fimigena Locq.-Lin.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Faurelina.
