See text The Didymosphaeriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales.

Taxa have a cosmopolitan distribution, and are saprobic in both woody and herbaceous plants.

[2] The validity of the family as a distinct taxonomic unit was questioned in a 2014 publication that suggested that the genera Appendispora, Phaeodothis, Roussoella, and Verruculina should be moved into other families.

[3] The type genus is Didymosphaeria, circumscribed by Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel in 1870.

According to the 2022 version of Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa, the Didymosphaeriaceae contains 33 genera and about 254 species.
