The Phomatosporales are a monotypic, order of fungi holding one family Phomatosporaceae with 3 genera, within the subclass class of Diaporthomycetidae. They are saprobic on submerged wood or decaying twigs in both terrestrial and also aquatic habitats.

Phomatosporales Senan., Maharachch. & K.D. Hyde Phomatosporaceae Senan. & K.D. Hyde

Taxon
Family Phomatosporaceae contains;
 * Lanspora K.D. Hyde & E.B.G. Jones (2 species)
 * Phomatospora Sacc. (ca. 100 species)
 * Tenuimurus Senan., Camporesi & K.D. Hyde (1 species, Tenuimurus clematidis )

History
Phomatosporaceae von Arx, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 17: 271 (1951)

MycoBank number: MB 552312; Index Fungorum number: IF 552312; Facesoffungi number: FoF 02486; 74 species.

Sexual morph: Ascomata perithecial, solitary, seldom gregarious, immersed or gradually becoming erumpent with age, subglobose to globose, light brown to dark brown or black, coriaceous, occasionally developing beneath a small blackened clypeus, ostiolate, with a short papilla or rarely with a rostrate or cylindrical, hyaline neck, central or eccentric. Ostiole periphysate. Peridium composed of small, brown pseudoparenchymatous cells. Paraphyses filamentous, aseptate or septate, tapering. Asci 8-spored, unitunicate, cylindrical or oblong-fusiform, thin-walled, short- pedicellate or sessile, J- ring in the ascal apex. Ascospores overlapping uniseriate to rarely biseriate, hyaline, ellipsoidal to fusiform, aseptate or septate, not constricted at the septum, at times bi- guttulate, with striations or appendages or a sticky mucilaginous sheath (Senanayake et al. 2016). Asexual morph: sporothrix-like (adapted from Rappaz 1992, Fournier & Lechat 2010, Senanayake et al. 2016).

Type genus – Phomatospora Sacc.

Notes – After von Arx (1951) invalidly established Phomatosporaceae, Senanayake et al. (2016) formally introduced the family to accommodate Phomatospora, Lanspora and Tenuimurus. Three genera, based on LSU, SSU and ITS phylogeny, formed a clade distantly related to other existing orders in the Diaporthomycetidae, for which, the new order Phomatosporales, was established (Senanayake et al. 2016).

reword Phomatosporales comprises Phomatospora, Lanspora and Tenuimurus (Senanayake et al. 2016). Phomatospora and Lanspora cluster together with statistical support of 86% ML and 0.97 PP, while Tenuimurus forms a clade with the other two genera with good support (100% ML, 1.00 PP) (Fig. 20). Phomatosporales contains the single family Phomatosporaceae (Senanayake et al. 2016). The divergence time for Phomatosporales is estimated as 91 MYA (Fig. 2), which falls in the range of family status. Its status may need revision following further study. Currently there is one family and three genera in this order (this paper).

Found in France and Spain.
