The Xenasmataceae are a family of crust fungi in the order Polyporales. The family was circumscribed in 1966 by German mycologist Franz Oberwinkler with Xenasma as the type genus.[3] As of April 2018, Index Fungorum accepts 28 species in the family.[4] Xenasmataceae fungi grow as saprobes on fallen wood and are known primarily from temperate areas.[5]
