The Ascocorticiaceae are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota, class Leotiomycetes.[1] This is a monotypic taxon, containing the single genus Ascocorticium. The family was first described by Joseph Schröter in 1893.[2] Species in this family have a widespread distribution in temperate locales, where they grow saprobically, often on the bark of conifers.[3]
