Notes – Musidium was established by Giraldo & Crous (2019) to accommodate the isolate previously classified as Acremonium stromaticum. The genus is closely related to Sayamraella, Summerbellia and Theobromium based on the analyses of a combine LSU, ITS, tef1 and rpb2 dataset, however, Musidium differs in its branched, dark olivaceous, incrusted or smooth and thick walled stromatic hyphae (Giraldo & Crous 2019).
