The Myriangiales are an order of Ascomycota.

The fruit bodies have no openings ( Ostiolen ), the compartments ( loculi ) in the hymenium each contain only one ascus. The Myringium species have rounded asci that are scattered in an undifferentiated stromal mass. The species are Saprobionten or biotroph living epiphytes. The anamorphs are acervulare Coelomyceten with polyphialidischen conidia - forming cells.

Eriksson (2006) divided the order into two families:

  • Elsinoaceae with 10 genera
  • Myriangiaceae with four genera
