Microascus is a genus of fungi in the family Microascaceae.[1][2]

History

It was introduced by Luttrell (1951) to accommodate genus Microascus which was originally placed in family Ophiostomataceae (Nannfeldt 1932,[3]) or Eurotiaceae in Eunotiales order, (Moreau and Moreau 1953;[4] Emmons and Dodge 1931;[5] Doguet 1957).[6] Then Malloch (1970) validated the family and accepted genera, Kernia, Lophotrichus and Petriellidium in the family.[7] It has 60 species in 2023.[8]
