Xylobotryomycetes
Xylobotryales is the only order of fungi within the class Xylobotryomycetes and a member of the Ascomycota. It was described in 2019 when DNA-analysis revealed that members of the genera Xylobotryum and Cirrosporium were only distantly related to other members of the Ascomycota.
As of September 2026, the order contains two families, Cirrosporiaceae and Xylobotryaceae with nine accepted species.
