The Amphisphaeriaceae are a family of fungi that is mainly found in parts of New Zealand, South America, Asia and parts of Europe. According to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, there were 41 genera placed within the family, although the position of 13 of those genera is uncertain.[1] The 2020 Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa severely reduced the family to 4 members.[2]
