The Annulatascaceae are a family of fungi in the monotypic order Annulatascales of the class Sordariomycetes of the Ascomycota.[1] The family had not been assigned to any order,[2] until 2020 when it was placed with a new order Annulatascales M.J. D'souza, Maharachch. & K.D. Hyde.[3]

Species in this family are saprobic, often found growing on rotten wood in freshwater habitats. They have a widespread distribution, with many found in tropical areas.[4]

Genera[edit]

As accepted by Wijayawardene et al. 2020, 13 genera;[3]
