Type species – Sodiomyces alkalinus Grum-Grzhim., Debets & Bilanenko

Notes – Sodiomyces was introduced by Grum-Grzhimaylo et al. (2013) to accommodate the holomorphic alkaliphilic species Heleococcum alkalinum based on the taxonomic reference and analyses of a combined ITS, LSU, SSU, rpb2 and tef1 dataset. All Sodiomyces species were invalid as the basionym lacked a valid type species (Giraldo & Crous 2019). Giraldo & Crous (2019) and Crous et al. (2019b) redescribed, accepted and validated all Sodiomyces species. This genus is characterized by cleistothecial ascomata, saccate asci, ellipsoidal or ovoid 2-celled and pale brown ascospores and subglobose, cylindrical to oval or allantoid conidia (Grum-Grzhimaylo et al. 2013; Giraldo & Crous 2019).
