Stachybotriaceae Lombard & Crous, 2014 The Stachybotryaceae are a family of fungi in the order Hypocreales; the genera it contains have been described as "hyper-diverse".

[2] The family was originally introduced by Crous et al. (2014) to accommodate three genera; Myrothecium, Peethamabra and Stachybotrys.

[1] It was revised by Lombard et al. (2016) based on morphological characters and multi-locus phylogenetic analysis.

[2] Generally, the species in Stachybotryaceae are characterized by asexual morphs with mononematous to sporodochial to synnematous conidiomata, usually with phialidic conidiogenous cells that produce 0–1-septate conidia in dark green dry chains or slimy masses.

[3] As accepted in 2020 (with amount of species):[4] Note; for Stachybotrys Corda, 12 species have been phylogenetically studied although 81 epithets remain be studied.
