(2017) with Fitzroyomyces cyperi as the type species, which was recorded in its asexual state from leaves of Cyperaceae in Australia . The taxon has similar morphological characteristics to Septoria but clustered within Stictidaceae in phylogenetic analyses ( Quaedvlieg et al. 2013 , Verkley et al. 2013 , Crous et al. 2017 ). Fitzroyomyces species are saprobic, and the asexual morph characteristics are conidiomata with central ostiole, exuding a creamy conidial mass that comprises hyaline, cylindrical, septate and flexuous conidia ( Crous et al. 2017 ). The sexual morph of F. cyperacearum was recorded from dead stems of Clematis subumbellata and Epilobium angustifolium in Thailand and the U.K. ( Ekanayaka et al. 2019 , Phukhamsakda et al. 2020 ). The sexual morph is characterized by cupulate apothecia immersed in the substrate, whitish to cream disc, numerous, long filiform, and aseptate paraphyses, long and hyaline asci, with filiform, multiseptate and hyaline ascospores. Wei et al. (2021) introduced F. hyaloseptisporus and synonymized Stictis pandanicola under Fitzroyomyces based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Fitzroyomyces comprises three species, F. cyperacearum , F. pandanicola (= Stictis pandanicola ) and F. hyaloseptisporus ( Crous et al. 2017 , Tibpromma et al. 2018 , Wei et al. 2021 ).
