The Pleomassariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Pleosporales. Taxa have a widespread distribution in both temperate and tropical regions, and are saprobic or necrotrophic on wood, bark, and other herbaceous material.[1] The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Margaret Elizabeth Barr-Bigelow in 1979.[2]
