The Venturiales is an order in the fungal class Dothideomycetes.

Members of the order Venturiales are widely distributed.

These include parasites and saprobes as well as pathogens of humans, animals, and plants.

[1][2] Members of the family Venturiaceae compose about 80% of all Venturiales.

[1] The asexual life cycle of Venturiales involves the penetration of the cuticle of the host species, and then expanding into the immediately subcuticular tissue before conidiation.
