[1] Lin et al. in 2018, confirmed the taxonomic status of family Pseudodactylariaceae based on phylogenetic analysis of LSU gene and ITS sequence data, and introduced a new species, Pseudodactylaria brevis C.G.
[10] Which has single, unbranched or branched, septate (walled), thick-walled, hyaline (glass-like) conidiophores (specialized stalks holding the condia).
[1] The solitary, hyaline, smooth-walled, conidia (spores) are fusoid (spindle-like shape) or ellipsoid and will combine or gather into a slimy mass.
They are guttulate (having oil droplets inside) and surrounded by a thin mucilaginous (thick gluey substance) sheath (adapted from Crous et al.
[4] Pseudodactylaria albicolonia was found in 2021 in Thailand was characterized by white erect conidiophores, fusoid-ellipsoid conidia that was also surrounded by a thin mucilaginous sheath.
[11] Pseudodactylariales have a distribution worldwide, it has been found in South America, occasionally in parts of North America, Europe (in Spain and Italy), Central and Southern Africa, parts of Eastern Asia (including Thailand,[7][11] Hong Kong,[5] and China,[9][15]), New Zealand,[16] and Australia.
