The Cladosporiales are a monotypic, order of fungi, holding the single family of Cladosporiaceae, within the class Dothideomycetes.

They are saprobic, endophytic, fungicolous, lichenicolous, human and plant pathogens.

Cladosporiales Abdollahz. & Crous This order, which includes saprobic, endophytic, fungicolous, lichenicolous, human and plant pathogens, was introduced based on the phylogenetic analyses by Abdollahzadeh et al. (2020), to accommodate family Cladosporiaceae, which was previously placed in order Capnodiales (F. Selcuk).

Cladosporiales Abdollahz. & Crous, ord. nov.

MycoBank number: MB 833140; Index Fungorum number: IF 833140; Facesoffungi number: FoF14146;

Etymology: Name refers to the genus Cladosporium.

Saprobic, endophytic, fungicolous, lichenicolous, human and plant pathogen. Ascomata pseudothecial, gregarious or scattered, immersed, black to red-brown, globose to subglobose, uniloculate, with 1(−3) short, periphysate ostiolar necks. Ostiole necks periphysoid. Hamathecium of hyaline, septate, subcylindrical pseudoparaphyses. Asci 8-spored, bitunicate, ﬁssitunicate, sessile to short-stalked, obovoid to broadly ellipsoid or subcylindrical, straight to slightly curved. Ascospores bi- to multi-seriate, or overlapping, hyaline, obovoid to ellipsoid-fusiform, with irregular luminar inclusions. Asexual morphs hyphomycetous. Conidiophores macronematous, mononematous, simple or branched, brown. Conidiogenous cells integrated, terminal and intercalary, sympodial or synchronous, mostly polyblastic, conidiogenous loci conspicuous, darkened-refractive or not. Conidia mostly in branched or unbranched acropetal chains, subhyaline to brown, smooth to verrucose or echinulate, ramoconidia present or not, dry, conidium secession schizolytic (adapted from Bensch et al. 2012).

Type genus: Cladosporium Link (sexual morph Davidiella Crous & U. Braun)

Family included: Cladosporiaceae Chalm. & R.G. Archibald (based on Cladosporium).

Type – Cladosporium Link.

Notes – Nannizzi (1934) introduced Cladosporiaceae to accommodate Cladosporium which is one of the largest genera of dematiaceous hyphomycetous. Braun et al. (2003) proposed a new genus Davidiella and confirmed it as the sexual morph of Cladosporium based on molecular data. The new genus was placed in family Mycosphaerellaceae (Braun et al. 2003). However, Aptroot (2006) reported that the characters of ascospores in genus Davidiella are distinct from those of genus Mycosphaerella. Schoch et al. (2006) performed phylogenetic analysis using four nuclear loci (LSU, SSU, rpb-2 and tef1) and separated Davidiella into a different family from Mycosphaerella (Mycosphaerellaceae). Thus, a new family Davidiellaceae was introduced to accommodate Davidiella with its Cladosporium asexual morphs. However, Cladosporiaceae (1934) predates Davidiellaceae (2006) in order Capnodiales. Cladosporiaceae comprises nine genera. Wijayawardene et al. (2014b) proposed to adopt Cladosporium over Davidiella. (faces Cladosporiaceae)
