The systematic position of genera and ranks above is indicated, following the classification of Ainsworth and Bisby's Dictionary of the Fungi, latest edition (10th, 2008).

Typification and collection details are given, along with geographical and host/substratum data; nomenclatural comment according to the latest edition of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Vienna, 2006). is appended as appropriate.
