Acidomyces B.J. Baker, M.A. Lutz, S.C. Dawson, P.L. Bond & Banfield ex Selbmann, de Hoog & De Leo, Stud. Mycol. 61: 16 (2008).

MycoBank number: MB 511298; Index Fungorum number: IF 511298; Facesoffungi number: FoF 06993; 2 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2019), 2 species with molecular data.

Type species – Acidomyces acidophilus (Sigler & J.W. Carmich.) Selbmann, de Hoog & De Leo, Stud. Mycol. 61: 17 (2008).

≡ Scytalidium acidophilum Sigler & J.W. Carmich., Can. J. Microbiol. 20(2): 267 (1974).

Notes – Baker et al. (2004) introduced Acidomyces but the name was invalid (Art. 35.1; Index Fungorum 2020). Hence, Selbmann et al. (2008) validated the genus. Hujslová et al. (2013) accepted the genus as in Teratosphaeriaceae but Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) did not include the genus in their phylogenetic analyses. See description and illustration in Selbmann et al. (2008), Hujslová et al. (2013).
