MycoBank number: MB 664; Index Fungorum number: IF 664; Facesoffungi number: FoF 07904; – 9 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), molecular data unavailable.

Type species: Bryomyces scapaniae Döbbeler, Mitt. bot. StSamml., Münch. 14: 254 (1978).

Notes: Hyde et al. (2017) revisited Bryomyces and accepted this genus in Pseudoperisporiaceae based on its parasitic or biotrophic habit on living hairy leaves of mosslike plants (liverworts or hornworts). Taxa in this genus are widely distributed and have been found in Austria, Bolivia, Japan and Sweden. Hyde et al. (2017) provided description and illustration of the holotype specimen Bryomyces scapaniae, habit on living hairy leaves of Scapania undulata from Austria.
