The Corynesporaceae is a family of fungi within the order Pleosporales. These fungi are primarily known for their role in decomposing organic matter, contributing to nutrient cycling in ecosystems. They are typically found in soil and decaying plant material. Members of the Corynesporaceae family are characterized by their unique spore structures and reproductive methods. Some species are also studied for their potential applications in biotechnology and agriculture, particularly in biocontrol and the production of enzymes.
