MycoBank number: MB 8865; Index Fungorum number: IF 8865; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08831; – 4 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 3 species with molecular data.

Type species: Matsushimaea fasciculata Subram., Kavaka 5: 96 (1978) [1977].

Note: Species of Matsushimaea are characterised by having branched, septate, olive mycelium with hyphal coils, by the production of sessile branched conidia arising directly from vegetative hyphae and integrated, mono- or polyblastic, intercalary or terminal, elongated conidiogenous cells, with irregular-shaped, septate, often branched filaments and brown conidia. The production of sessile branched conidia arising directly from vegetative hyphae is an important character of this genus (Crous et al. 2018b).
