Notes – Longipedicellata aptrootii (≡ Didymella aptrootii) was collected from a freshwater stream in Thailand (Hyde & Wong 1999). Zhang et al. (2016b) transferred Didymella aptrootii to Longipedicellata and placed it in Bambusicolaceae according to the phylogeny. However, Phukhamsakda et al. (2016) introduced Longipedicellataceae to accommodate Longipedicellata based on morphology, phylogeny and divergence time estimates.

 

Type species: Longipedicellata aptrootii (K.D. Hyde & S.W. Wong) H. Zhang, K.D. Hyde & J.K. Liu, Phytotaxa 247 (2): 104 (2016). 

≡ Didymella aptrootii K.D. Hyde & S.W. Wong, Australas. Mycol. 18(3): 54 (1999).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Longipedicellata.
