Annulohypoxylon, sometimes called cramp balls,[1] is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae.[2] The 27 species in the genus have a collectively widespread distribution.[3]

The genus Annulohypoxylon was created in 2005 and contains species formerly placed in the closely related genus Hypoxylon (it is equivalent to Hypoxylon section Annulata sensu).[4] Fossils of Annulohypoxylon have been found in 12 million year old rocks from central England.[5]
