Réblová et al. (2022) introduced the genus Gongromerizella to accommodate three species with chloridium-like asexual morphs: G. lignicola (Basionym: Bisporomyces lignicola), G. pachytrachela (Basionym: Chl. pachytrachelum), and G. pini (Basionym: Chl. pini). Gongromerizella silvana was subsequently introduced as the fourth species by Réblová et al. (2023). 

Type species: Gongromerizella lignicola (F. Mangenot) Réblová, in Réblová, Hernández-Restrepo, Sklenář, Nekvindová, Réblová & Kolařík, Stud. Mycol. 103: 199 (2022)

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Gongromerizella.
