Microascus is a genus of fungi in the family Microascaceae.

History

It was introduced by Luttrell (1951) to accommodate genus Microascus which was originally placed in family Ophiostomataceae (Nannfeldt 1932,) or Eurotiaceae in Eunotiales order, (Moreau and Moreau 1953; Emmons and Dodge 1931; Doguet 1957). Then Malloch (1970) validated the family and accepted genera, Kernia, Lophotrichus and Petriellidium in the family. It has 60 species in 2023.
