Notes – Vertexicola was introduced by Ranghoo et al. (2000) to accommodate V. caudata which was isolated from submerged wood in China and Philippines. Vertexicola was listed in Annulatascaceae by Maharachchikumbura et al. (2015) and Wijayawardene et al. (2018a). However, it was placed in Diaporthomycetidae genera incertae sedis based on sequence data of one strain of V. confuse, which was invalidly published (Nom. inval. in Index Fungorum 2020). Due to absence of morphological data, the validity of sequence data used by Zhang et al. (2017a) is unknown. We therefore, retain Vertexicola in Annulatascaceae until the sequence data of the type species V. caudata are available.

Type species: Vertexicola caudata K.D. Hyde, S.W. Wong & Ranghoo [as ‘caudatus’], in Ranghoo, Hyde, Wong, Tsui & Jones, Mycologia 92(5): 1020 (2000).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Vertexicola.
