Paramyrothecium L. Lombard & Crous 2016

This genus of fungi is closely related to the genus Myrothecium. It has been separated from that genus based on molecular studies as well as the 1–3-septate, thin-walled setae surrounding the sporodochia. The genus include several plant pathogens, the most important being Paramyrothecium roridum which causes leaf spot diseases on a large variety of plants.
