Nectriaceae

The Nectriaceae comprise a family of fungi in the order Hypocreales. It was circumscribed by brothers Charles and Louis René Tulasne in 1865.^[1] In 2020, an Outline of fungi was produced and listed 70 genera and about 1,336 species.^[2]

It is a highly diverse group with a worldwide distribution and it has higher diversity in warm temperate and tropical regions (Rossman et al. 1999;^[3] Rossman 2000; Chaverri et al. 2011, Schroers et al. 2011,^[4] Hyde et al. 2014, Lombard et al. 2015,^[5]). Several authors have studied and revised the taxonomy of Nectriaceae (Petch 1938;^[6] Munk 1957; Dennis 1960; Kreisel 1969; Rossman et al. 1999;^[3] Lumbsch and Huhndorf 2010; Lombard et al. 2015; Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016b).^[7] A recent treatment of Nectriaceae was provided by Wijayawardene et al. (2022), they also accepted 70 genera within the family.^[8]
