Hysteriaceae

Belongs within: Pleosporomycetidae.

The Hysteriaceae are a family of fungi that are mostly saprobic on wood or bark, with some species lichenicolous (Cannon & Kirk 2007).

Characters (from Cannon & Kirk 2007): Ascostromata perithecial, erumpent or superficial, often aggregated, elongated, sometimes branched, wider than tall, opening by a longitudinal split; peridium black, very thick-walled, composed of pseudoparenchymatous cells. Interascal tissue of narrow cellular pseudoparaphyses. Asci cylindrical, fissitunicate, with a distinct ocular chamber. Ascospores hyaline to brown, variously septate, sometimes with a mucous sheath. Anamorphs varied.
