Hypoxylon Bull. 1791

Hypoxylon is common in New Zealand forests, with more than 20 species recorded. The fruiting bodies are typically flat and crust like. Some are black or with dull colours, but the exceptions, such as the bright orange H. cinnabarinum, the purple H. nothofagi, and the hemispherical, purple H. howeanum, are those most often noticed.

Large fruiting bodies containing many individual perithecia, usually flattened across the host surface, the perithecia often visible as small mounds across the surface of the fruiting body. Variable in colour, from bright orange or purple, to dull brown or black.

About 25 species have been reported from New Zealand, although the genus is still poorly understood here. Only those listed below are treated in the Virtual Mycota.
