Wiesneriomyces has sporodochial conidiomata on a dark pseudoparenchymatous stalk, with subulate setae and cylindrical, hyaline, aseptate, catenate conidia (Suetrong et al. 2014). Wiesneriomyces formed a well-supported clade basal to Tubeufiaceae in Tubeufiales based on molecular data (Suetrong et al. 2014). Three species are accepted in Wiesneriomyces and W. conjunctosporus Kuthub. & Nawawi is found from freshwater habitats (Kuthubutheen and Nawawi 1988), but not confirmed with molecular data.

Type species: Wiesneriomyces laurinus (Tassi) P.M. Kirk

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Wiesneriomyces.
