Asteridiella is a genus of fungi in the family Meliolaceae.[1][2] The genus was first described by Daniel McAlpine in 1897, who differentiated it from various other fungal genera:
"Asterula, Sacc, has continuous hyaline spores (Hyalosporae), Asteronia, Sacc, has continuous brown spores (Phaeosporae). Asterina, Lev., has two-celled hyaline spores (Hyalodidymae). Asterella, Sacc, has two-celled brown spores (Phaeodidymae). Asteridium, Sacc, has multi-septate hyaline spores (Hyalophragmiae). And in the case of the specimen on Solanum viride with multi-septate brown spores, I have ventured to use Asteridiella (Phaeophragmiae)".[2]
Species and subspecies include some 738 taxa:
