The Hypocreaceae are a family within the class Sordariomycetes. Species are recognisable by their brightly coloured perithecial ascomata, typically yellow, orange or red. The family was proposed by Giuseppe De Notaris in 1844.[1] According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the family has 22 genera and 454 species.[2] In 2020, it was re-analysed and determined to have only 17 genera and about 658 species.[3]
