The Hoehnelomycetaceae are a family of fungi in the order Atractiellales. The family currently contains three genera and ten species.[1] Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are minute and ether stilboid (pin-shaped)[2] or pycnidioid (flask-shaped).[3] Microscopically they produce auricularioid (laterally septate) basidia. The type genus, Hoehnelomyces, is a synonym of Atractiella.[2] Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has shown that the Hoehnelomycetaceae are monophyletic (a natural grouping).[1] The family has a worldwide distribution.
