The Kriegeriaceae are a family of fungi in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina. The family currently comprises four genera, one of which (Kriegeria) contains a plant pathogenic species with auricularioid (laterally septate) basidia. The other genera contain species currently known only from their yeast states.[1][2]
